# Evidence Before Final

## Purpose
Prevent claiming completion without proof.

## When to Use
Use before final responses, handoffs, releases, or review closure.

## Inputs
Commands from the target project profile, changed files, review notes, smoke tests, and generated reports.

## Steps
1. Identify claims that require proof.
2. Run only relevant verification.
3. Separate evidence from approval.
4. Report unchecked risks plainly.

## Gates
Every completion claim has evidence or is marked unverified.

## Evidence
File checks, command outputs, review passes, smoke tests, or manual acceptance records.

## Anti-Patterns
Using screenshots, commits, or reports as automatic approval.
