ICH Q6 — Specifications

# ICH Q6 — Specifications — 50% of in-scope requirements covered.

2 requirements · 1 in scope (1 designed) · 1 out-of-scope (outside KYE™’s authority layer). The 50% is weighted over the in-scope base.

**Source:** The Specifications guideline (ICH Q6 — Specifications) defines the ICH Q-series quality expectations for specifications & acceptance criteria. KYE Protocol™ governs whether an AI-generated summary in this area may PROCEED to a consequential action — reliance in a dossier or Quality-Unit approval — under a named authority, with the justification recorded before the action and replay-provable provenance. KYE™ does not perform the underlying science or judge whether the quality is acceptable. · **License:** ICH guidelines are published by the International Council for Harmonisation; KYE™ registry paraphrases each requirement's intent and cites the official identifier for mapping purposes only.
