The RTM links every user requirement to its

functional specification item, the design element that

implements it, and the qualification evidence that verifies it. Bidirectional

traceability is a Category 5 expectation; this matrix is the single point of truth for

coverage.

Coverage statement

Every URS item traces forward to at least one FS item and one verification activity;

every qualification check in the Qualification Catalog traces

back to an FS/URS item. No orphan requirements; no untraced tests.

*Federation cosignature: pending — gaiaftcl wiki sign --section GAMP5.*

Federation cosignature: pending operator signing host (v26). Witness (sha256 of rendered body): 15df87a43151fda9f6add5ed78f8b5314da3cb8db658985303ccfa5b3b8b01df. This page serves with a substrate-honest pending-signature notice until the operator's Franklin signer cosigns it.
