Requirements Traceability Gap Findertrace sheet

Stakeholder requirement

What the customer or the stakeholders asked for; Automotive SPICE SYS.1 holds it, and the system requirements trace back to it.

where it sits
the top of the chain (validated against the need, not verified)
read from
a level or type cell reading “stakeholder requirement”, “stakeholder requirements”, “stakeholder”, “customer requirement”, “customer requirements”, “customer”, “business requirement” and “market requirement”; or an ID starting STK, SH, CR, CUS and MR, said so on the line
standards that use it
Automotive SPICE, AS9100D and IATF 16949

A requirement at this level is the top of its chain: it has no parent by design, is never asked for one, and carries validation rather than verification. Where a validation column is pasted, a blank cell raises finding 9.
