Step 7: Completeness Review
Goal
Verify that the written guide covers all planned topics, maintains consistency, and has no gaps. This is a content-focused review, not a technical one.
Inputs Required
| Input | Source | Purpose |
|-------|--------|---------|
| All chapters | guide_draft/*.md | Content to review |
| Revised syllabus | syllabus_revised.md | Planned structure |
| Topic analyses | topic_analysis/*.md | Content requirements |
| Document spec | document_spec.md | Standards |
Review Dimensions
1. Coverage - Did we include everything planned?
2. Consistency - Is the guide coherent throughout?
3. Completeness - Are there gaps within chapters?
4. Connectivity - Do chapters connect properly?
5. Balance - Is depth appropriate across topics?
