Definitionv1DF-282
Trigger conditions
specific, observable signals or thresholds that automatically prompt schema review regardless of subjective judgment, defined prospectively before problems are suspected and designed to detect schema degradation early
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the boundary of 'trigger conditions' by specifying key distinguishing features: they are 'specific, observable signals,' 'automatically prompt review,' 'regardless of subjective judgment,' and 'defined prospectively.' It contrasts them clearly with vague subjective signals and emphasizes their role in early detection rather than post-hoc rationalization. The definition is precise enough to distinguish them from other monitoring or evaluation methods.
