Success Criteria

How we measure success for the DRKM Blueprint System

Active·Owner: greg·2026-04-04

Measurable Success

Success for the DRKM Blueprint System is defined by four measurable criteria:

Coverage: Every Project Has a Blueprint

Every Dark Matter Systems project, active or planned, must have a corresponding blueprint. This is not optional. 100% of projects receive baseline documentation structure by default.

Compliance: Every Blueprint Follows the Spec

Every generated blueprint must validate against the DRKM specification. No exceptions. Any blueprint that deviates from the four governing documents (Design System Brief, Content Architecture Spec, Repo Template Spec, Master Operating Prompt) is considered non-compliant and must be corrected.

Usability: Navigable in Under 5 Seconds

A user encountering a blueprint for the first time must be able to:

  • Understand what the project is (from the overview)
  • Find what they're looking for (via navigation)
  • Access that information within 5 seconds

This is measured by information scannability, logical hierarchy, and navigation clarity. Poor information architecture violates this criterion.

Determinism: Markus Produces Identical Output

Given the same input (vision, requirements, decisions, architecture, team), Markus must produce identical blueprints every time. Determinism is critical for reliability. No hallucination, no variation, no inconsistency. The system is predictable.

Build and Deployment

  • Build time under 60 seconds
  • Deploy to Cloudflare Pages automatically on main branch push
  • Zero deployment errors or manual intervention required
  • Rollback capability via git revert

Quality Baseline

  • Accessibility Level AA (WCAG)
  • Mobile-functional on all devices
  • SEO-compliant metadata
  • No broken links or missing assets

Long-term Vision

Success eventually means documentation is no longer a project constraint. It's automatic, professional, and standardized from day one. Team members and stakeholders trust the documentation because it's always complete and always in the same place.
