Working checklists for every stage and gate of every chip lifecycle. Each stage has an entry and an exit checklist and each gate has a gate checklist; recurring reviews and the main hand-offs have their own. Every item says what shows it is done, who usually owns it and whether it is a must, a should or advisory. Members can tick items, add notes and keep a run per project, saved privately to their account.
