Read excerpt

- When verifying that all specification requirements have corresponding tasks
- When checking for contradictions between constitution and plan
- When assessing readiness for the implementation phase

## Key Principle

Every specification requirement must be traceable through the plan to at least one task. No artifact should contradict another. Coverage gaps and conflicts must be resolved before implementation.

## Process

1. **Build traceability matrix** - Map requirements -> plan components -> tasks
2. **Detect coverage gaps** - Requirements without corresponding tasks
3. **Identify conflicts** - Contradictory constraints or requirements across artifacts
4. **Verify constitution compliance** - Plan and tasks comply with governance
