Evidence Readiness Check

Before reviewing, verify:

• A vision statement is explicitly written (not confused with mission/strategy).
• Clear user problem(s) are referenced or implied.
• Time horizon (e.g., 3–5 years, long-term direction) is indicated.

If missing → Status = HOLD. Prompt the user to add missing pieces.

   • Score 0 = mundane, 5 = bold, energizing.

2. Realistic & Attainable

   • Is the future state believable within the company's trajectory?
   • Score 0 = fantasy, 5 = ambitious yet plausible.

3. Constraint-Free

   • Is it written without being anchored to today's technology/org limits?
   • Score 0 = limited by today, 5 = unconstrained future vision.
