Engineering services · Annex 58 Task 4
Specs & testing
Aligned with Annex 58 Task 4 — Definition and testing of HP specifications: recommendations for writing and verifying specifications in commercial projects. The service builds measurable envelopes, acceptance points, and test plans. Not legal advice.

End-user checklists
National teams contributed checklists for collecting planning data—exactly the hygiene commercial projects need.
Test what you wrote
Specifications without a test method are theatre. Task 4 links definition to verification.
