   - Data models
   - Implementation guide
   - Code templates
   - Test specifications

3. **MEET QUALITY STANDARDS** (REQUIRED)
   - Ensure completeness ≥80%
   - Verify consistency ≥90%
   - Achieve quality score ≥80%
   - Validate chess rules 100% accurate

4. **ENABLE IMPLEMENTATION** (REQUIRED)
   - Provide clear implementation roadmap
   - Include code examples
   - Specify file structure
   - Define setup process

---

## Timeline to Approval

### Estimated Timeline

**Phase 1: Planning Execution** (6-12 hours)
- Workers produce all documentation
- Peer review and refinement
- Output validation

**Phase 2: Re-Review** (2-4 hours)
- Reviewer assesses all deliverables
- Completeness check
- Consistency validation
- Quality assessment

**Phase 3: Revisions** (if needed) (2-6 hours)
- Address review feedback
- Fix inconsistencies
- Improve quality

**Phase 4: Final Approval** (1 hour)
- Final sign-off
- Handoff to implementation swarm

**Total**: 11-23 hours from restart to approval

---

## Conditional Approval Possibility

### NOT APPLICABLE

Conditional approval cannot be granted because:
- ❌ No partial deliverables exist
- ❌ No work-in-progress to evaluate
- ❌ No foundation to build upon
- ❌ Complete restart required

**Minimum for conditional approval**: At least 50% of documents at ≥60% quality
**Actual**: 0% of documents exist
