# apply-stage-gate
## Purpose
Apply explicit GO / HOLD / RECYCLE / KILL gates to a candidate or work package, tying each outcome to evidence thresholds and a next action.
## Input contract
```yaml
required: [candidate_record, gate_criteria, evidence_register]
optional: [prior_gate_decision, remediation_options]
constraints: [each criterion has an observable status; gate outcome and next action are explicit]
```
## Procedure
1. Normalize the candidate, gate criteria, evidence, and unresolved assumptions into a gate table.
2. Evaluate every criterion as met, unmet, or unknown, preserving the cited evidence and threshold direction.
3. Apply precedence: KILL for disqualifying hard failure, RECYCLE for repairable failure, HOLD for insufficient evidence, otherwise GO.
4. Emit the gate decision, failed criteria, evidence gaps, and the smallest justified next action.
