Claim Structure and Guidance

Profile Sections 3 and 4

• Section 3 – lists the Profile Activities (and Actors), which contain

the requirement “checklists”.

• Section 4 – is the library of Assessment Procedures for any

requirements that require complex assessment. (Most don’t).

– Note: these procedures could be used in multiple contexts, e.g. both at installation time, and monthly QA.

• The procedure in Section 4 says how to determine a parameter value. The requirement in Section 3 says what a passing score is.

Template Intent

• Normalizing across profiles

– Distilling commonalities

– Accommodating differences

– Avoiding unnecessary variation

– Reduce effort for authors and implementers

– Derive and learn best practice from each other
