What should I specify about environment state before requesting a release?

Before you request a release, settle which parts of the environment state it must contain; these are the decisions that most change the result.

- Entity types required: approval, party, account or service, obligation, task and notice. - How many near-duplicate parties to seed per task, and how close they should be to the target. - Approval conditions and expiry rules, and which sit in structured fields versus free-text notes. - Document statuses to include, such as received, expired, missing or mismatched. - Role queues, and the handover message each role receives from the one before. - Policy rules, written as checks a grader can execute against the final state. - The share of tasks whose correct outcome is a referral, pending status or rejection. - Later events, such as a first invoice or claim, that reveal earlier mistakes.
