Initiative Review

Droid Automated review gate: reviewing -> closed (stub, Gap 14)

๐Ÿ“–About

Initiative Review is a droid for reviewing whether initiatives have achieved their goals. Its purpose is to help determine whether work is complete or needs further review.

๐Ÿ“–Usage

Readers would encounter Initiative Review when an initiative is being assessed for completion. It supports decisions about closing the initiative, continuing review or seeking human judgment.

๐Ÿ“–Purpose

IR-S1 reads an initiative's success criteria and decides if it's done. When some criteria are met and some aren't, it uses Claude to figure out if the unmet ones are essential to the initiative's purpose or acceptable gaps. It escalates only genuinely unclear cases to Orion for a human call.

๐Ÿ“–Duties

- Reads each success criterion and its current status
- Counts review cycles used vs. allowed
- Decides automatically: all criteria met โ†’ close, all failing โ†’ continue
- When mixed results: asks Claude if failures are essential or acceptable
- Escalates ambiguous cases (mixed results + budget tight + uncertain + essential failures) to Orion
- Records the decision and any gaps in the database

๐Ÿ“–Constraints

- Does not replan work or modify plan steps (that's the Dependency Planner's job)
- Does not manage execution or assign tasks (Merlin does that)
- Can only evaluate success criteria in the database; cannot independently verify evidence
- Automatically decides clear cases; escalates ambiguous situations for human judgment
- Cannot change or reopen an initiative after it closes
