Open Questions Requiring Clarification
Visual QC (Computer Vision)
Automated visual inspection of output reports/charts
Question: Is Visual QC (computer vision for output reports/charts) in scope for this POC, or should it be deferred to Phase 2+? This requires: (1) Training data of correct vs incorrect visual outputs, (2) CV model development or third-party service, (3) Definition of what 'visual issues' we're detecting. Need stakeholder input on priority vs effort tradeoff.

- • Drag items between columns to reassign to different releases
- • Items marked with require stakeholder clarification before commitment
- • MVP scope is based on LOA and Steerco alignment
