Before a government procedure goes live, SIFR Gate checks for repeated information, unnecessary documents and avoidable trips. The policy decides whether the update can be released.

  1. 1 · ProposeA team drafts an updateDraft 2.4.0 — nothing reaches citizens yet.

Release blocked · 2.4.0

This update adds 24,180 citizen hours per year.

8 regressions across 4 entities, 4 of them release blockers. The proposal cannot ship until they are resolved.

Why this release is blocked

2.4.0 reintroduces bureaucracy the baseline had removed

SIFR Gate is not scoring design taste. It blocks publication when deterministic tests measure added effort, documents, visits, delay, or a path an applicant cannot complete.

Show the 7 policy clauses this release does not meet
  • 4 blocking findings (ONCE-01, LEGAL-01, FLOW-01, ACCESS-03)Policy limit: 0 findings at severity critical or from rules ACCESS-03, FLOW-01. A release may not introduce a finding the policy classifies as blocking.
  • 24,180 added hours/yearPolicy limit: ≤ 0 added hours/year. A release may not increase the total time applicants spend on this procedure.
  • 1 added visitPolicy limit: ≤ 0 added visits. A release may not introduce a new physical visit.
  • 1 added required documentPolicy limit: ≤ 0 added required documents. A release may not require a document the approved baseline did not.
  • 7 added working daysPolicy limit: ≤ 0 added working days. A release may not lengthen how long the applicant waits for the outcome.
  • 4 of 8 completedPolicy limit: 8 of 8 synthetic applicants complete the journey. Every applicable synthetic applicant must be able to finish the procedure.
  • 42Policy limit: ≥ 80. Aggregate score derived from the severity of what this release introduces.

3 inherited findings also detected in the approved baseline. These are reported for information and do not block this release — a regression gate blocks what a release introduces.

Where these numbers come fromAll demonstration data

Every volume feeding these figures is demonstration data. The minutes are read from the procedure definition, and the arithmetic between them is the engine's — so the method is real and the inputs are not.
