+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Each of the 7 MIL-STD-498 workflows was compared line-by-line against its DID PDF template.
+
+**Update (2026-03-02)**: All 7 workflows have been fully fixed:
+- SSDD: Rewritten with CSCI Discovery Interview + requirements-driven behavioral guidance
+- SDD: New SDD.md template created from DID. Instructions fully rewritten with epics/stories as primary inputs
+- OCD: Added Sections 7 (impacts) and 8 (analysis), expanded 3.3/5.3 to items a-h, added 4.4/4.5, fixed section numbering
+- SDP: Expanded Sections 4-5 to cover all 50+ DID subsections (5.1-5.19), added risk/uncertainty requirement
+- STD: Fixed two-level test hierarchy (4.x → 4.x.y), expanded all sub-items to full DID detail, added safety callout
+- SRS: Expanded 3.3.x interfaces (a-g), 3.10 (3.10.1-3.10.4), added 4.e special qualifications, Appendix A
+- SSS: Expanded 3.3.x interfaces (a-g), 3.10, 3.12 (a-f with physical), 3.13-3.18, added 4.e, fixed Section 5
+- All 7 workflows: Document dependency chain with predecessor alerts + CSCI scoping for per-CSCI docs
+
+### Status
+
+| Document | DID | Template | Instructions | Status |
+|----------|-----|----------|-------------|--------|
+| SSDD | DI-IPSC-81432 | Complete | Fully rewritten | **FIXED** |
+| SRS | DI-IPSC-81433 | Complete | Fully rewritten | **FIXED** |
+| SDD | DI-IPSC-81435 | **Created** | Fully rewritten | **FIXED** |
+| SDP | DI-IPSC-81427 | Complete | Fully rewritten | **FIXED** |
+| OCD | DI-IPSC-81430 | Complete | Fully rewritten | **FIXED** |
+| SSS | DI-IPSC-81431 | Complete | Fully rewritten | **FIXED** |
+| STD | DI-IPSC-81439 | Complete | Fully rewritten | **FIXED** |
+
+### Document Dependency Chain
+
+All workflows now enforce a dependency chain. When generating a document, the agent checks for predecessor documents and alerts the user if they are missing.
+
+```
+OCD (first — no predecessors)
+ └──→ SSS (recommends OCD)
+       └──→ SSDD (recommends SSS)
+             ├──→ SRS (requires SSDD)
+             │     ├──→ SDD (requires SRS + SSDD, uses Epics/Stories)
+             │     └──→ STD (requires SRS + SSDD)
+             └──→ SDP (recommends SSDD)
+```
+
+Per-CSCI documents (SRS, SDD, STD) now include a **CSCI Scoping** step that asks the user which CSCI from the SSDD this document covers.
+
+### All Common Issues Resolved
+
+All previously identified common issues have been fixed:
+1. **Appendix A guidance** — All 7 workflows now include Appendix A section guidance
+2. **Interface detail** — SRS 3.3.x, SSS 3.3.x, SDD 4.3.x, SSDD 4.3.x all now cover the full 7 categories (a-g) with sub-items
+3. **CSCI scoping** — SRS, SDD, and STD all include a CSCI Scoping step
+4. **Requirements-driven behavioral principle** — Both SSDD and SDD Section 3 now enforce behavioral language
+5. **Qualification provisions** — SRS and SSS Section 4 now include "e. Special qualification methods"
+
+---
+
+## 1. SRS — Software Requirements Specification (DI-IPSC-81433)
+
+### Template Assessment
+**Verdict: Complete.** Template matches DID structure including all sections 1-6 and Appendix A.
+
+### Workflow Instruction Gaps
+
+| # | DID Section | Gap Description | Severity |
+|---|-------------|-----------------|----------|
+| 1 | Pre-generation | No CSCI scoping step — SRS is per-CSCI. Workflow must ask which CSCI from SSDD this SRS covers | High |
+| 2 | 3.2 | "Map each Epic/feature from PRD" — but Epics may span multiple CSCIs. Must filter to in-scope CSCI | Medium |
+| 3 | 3.3.x | Interface requirements have 7 categories (a-g) with detailed sub-items. Instructions collapse to one sentence | High |
+| 4 | 3.10 | DID has 4 subsections (3.10.1-3.10.4). Instructions collapse to one bullet | Medium |
+| 5 | 4 | Missing "e. Special qualification methods" | Low |
+| 6 | 3, 5 | DID allows inline annotation of qualification methods and traceability as alternative to separate sections. Not mentioned | Low |
+| 7 | A | No Appendix A guidance in instructions | Low |
+
+### Recommended Fixes
+- Add Step 2.5: CSCI Scoping — ask which CSCI, verify against SSDD
+- Expand 3.3.x guidance to cover all 7 categories (a-g) with sub-items
+- Expand 3.10 to explicitly list 3.10.1-3.10.4
+- Add Section 4.e special qualification methods
+- Add Appendix A section
+- Add note about inline annotation alternative
+
+---
+
+## 2. SDD — Software Design Description (DI-IPSC-81435)
+
+### Template Assessment
+**Verdict: MISSING.** No SDD.md template exists. The workflow says "uses the SSDD template adapted for CSCI-level design" — but the SDD DID has a fundamentally different structure from SSDD. This is the most critical gap.
+
+### Key Structural Differences (SDD DID vs SSDD DID)
+
+| Aspect | SSDD (DI-IPSC-81432) | SDD (DI-IPSC-81435) |
+|--------|----------------------|----------------------|
+| Section 3 | System-wide decisions (a-f) | CSCI-wide decisions (a-e, no hardware item) |
+| Section 4.1.e | Hardware resource descriptions | Resource utilization allocation per CSC |
+| Section 4.1.f | Specification tree | Program library description |
+| Section 5 | Requirements traceability | **CSCI detailed design** (5.x per unit, a-f) — entirely new |
+| Section 6 | Notes | Requirements traceability |
+| Section 7 | N/A | Notes |
+
+### Workflow Instruction Gaps
+
+| # | DID Section | Gap Description | Severity |
+|---|-------------|-----------------|----------|
+| 1 | Template | No SDD.md template exists — agent cannot follow DID structure | Critical |
+| 2 | Pre-generation | No CSCI scoping step — SDD is per-CSCI | High |
+| 3 | 3 | Section 3 items don't match DID (should be a-e for CSCI-level). Also needs requirements-driven behavioral guidance | High |
+| 4 | 4.1.e | Missing resource utilization allocation per CSC | Medium |
+| 5 | 4.1.f | Should be "program library" not "specification tree" (that's SSDD) | Medium |
+| 6 | 5 | CSCI detailed design grossly under-specified. DID has 5.x per software unit with items a-f: unit design decisions, design constraints, programming language, control flow/logic, data elements/structures, restrictions/limitations | Critical |
+| 7 | A | No Appendix A | Low |
+
+### Recommended Fixes
+- **Create SDD.md template** from DID PDF — this is critical
+- Add Step 2.5: CSCI Scoping
+- Rewrite Section 3 guidance with correct a-e items and behavioral principle
+- Rewrite Section 4.1 with correct items (e=resource utilization, f=program library)
+- Completely rewrite Section 5 guidance with detailed per-unit structure (a-f)
+- Add Appendix A
+- Remove reference to using SSDD template
+
+---
+
+## 3. SDP — Software Development Plan (DI-IPSC-81427)
+
+### Template Assessment
+**Verdict: Complete.** Template matches DID with all ~50 subsections in Sections 4-5.
+
+### Workflow Instruction Gaps
+
+| # | DID Section | Gap Description | Severity |
+|---|-------------|-----------------|----------|
+| 1 | 4.2 | DID has 7 subsections (4.2.1-4.2.7). Instructions compress to 1 bullet | Critical |
+| 2 | 5 | DID has 19 major subsections (5.1-5.19) each with sub-items (~50 total). Instructions compress to 5 bullets | Critical |
+| 3 | 4-5 | DID requires each paragraph to "identify applicable risks/uncertainties and plans for dealing with them". Not mentioned | High |
+| 4 | 4.1, 5 | Instructions reference "BMAD-METHOD lifecycle" and "BMAD workflow" — project-specific, not DID-standard | Medium |
+| 5 | 8 | No Notes section guidance (DID Section 8) | Low |
+| 6 | A | No Appendix A guidance | Low |
+| 7 | 5.14 | Software configuration management (5.14.1-5.14.5) not mentioned | Medium |
+| 8 | 5.15-5.16 | Software product evaluation and QA not mentioned | Medium |
+| 9 | 5.17 | Corrective action process not mentioned | Medium |
+| 10 | 5.18 | Joint technical and management reviews not mentioned | Medium |
+
+### Recommended Fixes
+- Expand Section 4 guidance to explicitly cover 4.2.1-4.2.7
+- Expand Section 5 guidance to cover all 19 subsections (5.1-5.19) with key content expectations
+- Add risk/uncertainty identification requirement per paragraph
+- Remove BMAD-specific references — make workflow DID-generic
+- Add Section 8 Notes and Appendix A guidance
+
+---
+
+## 4. OCD — Operational Concept Description (DI-IPSC-81430)
+
+### Template Assessment
+**Verdict: Complete.** Template has all sections including 4.4, 4.5, 7.1-7.3, 8.1-8.3.
+
+### Workflow Instruction Gaps
+
+| # | DID Section | Gap Description | Severity |
+|---|-------------|-----------------|----------|
+| 1 | 7 | **Entire Section 7 "Summary of impacts" (7.1-7.3) missing** from instructions | Critical |
+| 2 | 8 | **Entire Section 8 "Analysis of proposed system" (8.1-8.3) missing** from instructions | Critical |
+| 3 | 4 | **Missing 4.4** "Changes considered but not included" and **4.5** "Assumptions and constraints" | High |
+| 4 | 3.3 | DID has items a-h for current system description. Instructions cover only 4 of 8 items. Missing: d (capabilities), e (data flow charts), f (performance), g (quality), h (safety/security) | High |
+| 5 | 5.3 | DID has items a-h for new system description (mirrors 3.3). Instructions thin | High |
+| 6 | 7 (instr) | Instructions label Notes as "Section 7" but DID has it as Section 9. Section numbering is wrong | Medium |
+| 7 | A | No Appendix A guidance | Low |
+
+### Recommended Fixes
+- Add Section 7 "Summary of impacts" with subsections 7.1-7.3
+- Add Section 8 "Analysis of proposed system" with subsections 8.1-8.3
+- Add 4.4 and 4.5 to Section 4
+- Expand 3.3 and 5.3 to cover items a-h
+- Fix section numbering (Notes = Section 9, not 7)
+- Add Appendix A guidance
+
+---
+
+## 5. SSS — System/Subsystem Specification (DI-IPSC-81431)
+
+### Template Assessment
+**Verdict: Complete.** Template matches DID.
+
+### Workflow Instruction Gaps
+
+| # | DID Section | Gap Description | Severity |
+|---|-------------|-----------------|----------|
+| 1 | 3.3.x | DID has 7 categories (a-g) with detailed sub-items. Instructions say "Map top-level external interfaces" | High |
+| 2 | 3.10 | DID has 4 subsections (3.10.1-3.10.4). Instructions collapse to one bullet | Medium |
+| 3 | 3.12 | DID has items a-f including physical requirements (weight, dimensions, materials, nameplates). Instructions say "Technology and methodology constraints" — misses physical aspects | Medium |
+| 4 | 3.13-3.18 | Instructions say "Additional requirement categories as defined in the template" — no guidance | Medium |
+| 5 | 4 | Missing "e. Special qualification methods" | Low |
+| 6 | 5 | DID distinguishes system-level (no traceability required) from subsystem-level. Instructions don't handle this distinction | Low |
+| 7 | A | No Appendix A guidance | Low |
+
+### Recommended Fixes
+- Expand 3.3.x guidance to cover all 7 categories (a-g)
+- Expand 3.10 to explicitly list 3.10.1-3.10.4
+- Expand 3.12 to cover items a-f including physical requirements
+- Add explicit guidance for 3.13-3.18
+- Add Section 4.e special qualification methods
+- Handle system vs subsystem distinction in Section 5
+- Add Appendix A guidance
+
+---
+
+## 6. STD — Software Test Description (DI-IPSC-81439)
+
+### Template Assessment
+**Verdict: Complete.** Template is very detailed and matches DID.
+
+### Workflow Instruction Gaps
+
+| # | DID Section | Gap Description | Severity |
+|---|-------------|-----------------|----------|
+| 1 | 4 | DID has two-level hierarchy: 4.x (test) → 4.x.y (test case) → 4.x.y.1-7. Instructions flatten to one level | High |
+| 2 | 4.x.y.2 | DID has items a-f for prerequisite conditions. Instructions say "preconditions and initial state" | High |
+| 3 | 4.x.y.3 | DID has items a-e for test inputs including data control strategy (min/reasonable, overload/worst-case, invalid, retesting). Instructions thin | High |
+| 4 | 4.x.y.5 | DID has items a-i for evaluation criteria. Instructions say "Pass/fail criteria" | High |
+| 5 | 4.x.y.6 | DID has items a-e for test procedure with extensive detail (10 operator action sub-items, per-step results, error actions, analysis). Instructions say "Step-by-step procedure" | High |
+| 6 | 3-4 | DID requires safety precautions (WARNING/CAUTION) and security/privacy considerations. Not mentioned | Medium |
+| 7 | Pre-generation | No CSCI/system scoping step — STD can be for CSCI or system testing | Medium |
+| 8 | A | No Appendix A guidance | Low |
+
+### Recommended Fixes
+- Preserve two-level test hierarchy (4.x → 4.x.y → 4.x.y.1-7)
+- Expand 4.x.y.2 prerequisites to cover items a-f
+- Expand 4.x.y.3 test inputs to cover items a-e with data control strategy
