Verified closure
A closure decision supported by evidence that the intended security condition changed.
Definition
Verified closure separates implementation from evaluation. A designated reviewer checks relevant proof or retests the condition, records residual exposure, and either closes or reopens the work.
Why it matters
It reduces the chance that administrative completion is mistaken for reduced exposure.
