1. Narrative Coherence -- “Does the Design Scenario effectively narrate a future vision, showing how the proposed System resolves the core issues identified in the Problem Scenario?”
Applies to: Design Scenario; Personas
Design Scenario
Meets the criterion:
Describes day‑in‑the‑life interactions where the robot facilitates social contact, activity suggestions, and check‑ins for safety.
Shows role reallocation: robot handles routine social coordination while caregiver focuses on healthcare tasks.
(Potential) Improvements:
Add storyboard frames to make intent and timing explicit and include alternative flows (e.g., refusal, agitation, privacy concerns, no network).
Clarify contextual constraints (quiet hours, mobility limits) and explicitly reference the same actor names and terms across all artefacts.
Personas
Meets the criterion:
Human and robot personas are specified according to the prescribed format.
(Potential) Improvements:
Expand to rich personas (background, routines, capabilities/limitations, values, relationships, digital literacy, risk sensitivities).
Make separate persona tables or pages for the key direct stakeholders with the concerning links to stakeholders.
2. Use Case Detail -- “Are the Use Cases detailed and formal, clearly describing the sequence of Interactions between Actors to achieve a specific Goal?”
Applies to: Use Cases with Claims
Use Cases with Claims
Meets the criterion:
Provides multi‑step action sequences for social matching and for activity scheduling/reminding, including actor roles and example prompts.
Includes an additional group activity use case (e.g., music bingo) to illustrate multi‑party coordination.
(Potential) Improvements:
Complete a formal template for each use case: unique ID, scope, actors, triggers, preconditions, main/alternative flows, postconditions, exceptions, data used/produced.
Ensure consistent terminology (e.g., “interest gathering” vs. “preference polling”) and specify data provenance/consent for personal interests.
3. Core Logic Loop -- “Does each Use Case explicitly link a Function (the what) to an Effect (the result) through a well‑formed, testable Claim (the why)?”
Applies to: Use Cases with Claims
Use Cases with Claims
Meets the criterion:
Claims enumerate functions such as interest gathering, social matching, and conversation facilitation, and state intended effects (confidence, engagement).
Some claims reference specific action‑sequence steps, strengthening causal traceability.
(Potential) Improvements:
Make all claims testable: define observable Effects with measurable indicators and negative side‑effects to watch for (e.g., over‑prompting, privacy discomfort).
Add prerequisites for each claim (e.g., accurate recognition, verified consent) and outline validation procedures to be used later.
4. Objective Alignment -- “Is there a clear mapping showing how the specified Use Cases and Functions serve a higher‑level Objective?”
Applies to: Use Cases with Claims; Objectives/Requirements
Objectives & Requirements
Meets the criterion:
High‑level objectives (e.g., reduce loneliness, increase participation, relieve staff micro‑coordination) are reflected across the use cases.
(Potential) Improvements:
The link between objectives and human factors concepts from the foundations could be more clearly articulated.
5. Pattern Application -- “Are recurring design problems addressed using clearly documented Design Patterns, with a clear distinction between Team Design Patterns (Task Level) and Interaction Design Patterns (Interaction Level)?”
Applies to: Team Design Pattern; Interaction Design Pattern
Team Design Pattern (TDP)
Meets the criterion:
Proposes a hybrid oversight structure (staff validation and coactive decisions) for morally sensitive situations.
(Potential) Improvements:
Provide a solution structure with a picture.
Interaction Design Pattern (IDP)
Meets the criterion:
Provides multiple IDPs (e.g., active listening, clarification prompting, timing management) tailored to dementia communication.
(Potential) Improvements:
Link references per IDP, and connect each IDP to the claims it supports.
6. Traceability to Foundation -- “Is there clear traceability showing how the specified Functions, Claims, and Requirements are derived from the analysis in the Foundation stage?”
Applies to: Use Cases with Claims; Requirements
Traceability
Meets the criterion:
Conceptual links are implied between social needs, communication strategies, and chosen functions/claims.
(Potential) Improvements:
The link between objectives and human factors concepts from the foundations could be more clearly articulated.
1. Narrative Coherence: "Does the Design Scenario effectively narrate a future vision, showing how the proposed System resolves the core issues identified in the Problem Scenario?"
Applies to: Design Scenario
Design Scenario
Meets the criterion:
Coherent day-in-the-life story with specific places/times and explicit alternate paths.
Operational constraints included (quiet hours, location limitations); refusal and network-loss handling specified.
(Potential) Improvements:
Add a compact storyboard with frames and guards to visualise transitions and triggers.
Clarify what “Frames” refer to in the description
Make preconditions/guards visible for autonomy boundaries (who/when Pepper may act in rooms vs. common areas).
2. Use Case Detail: "Are the Use Cases detailed and formal, clearly describing the sequence of Interactions between Actors to achieve a specific Goal?"
Applies to: Use Case with Claims
Use Case with Claims
Meets the criterion:
UCs provide actors, triggers, pre/postconditions, main/alternative flows, exceptions.
Data used/produced and consent handling listed for UC-01/UC-02.
(Potential) Improvements:
No notes
3. Core Logic Loop: "Does each Use Case explicitly link a Function (the "what") to an Effect (the "result") through a well-formed, testable Claim (the "why")?"
Applies to: Use Case with Claims
Use Case with Claims
Meets the criterion:
Claims link functions (monitoring, interest gathering, social matching, prompting) to intended effects with step-level references.
Both positive effects and potential downsides are acknowledged in the narrative and patterns.
(Potential) Improvements:
No notes.
4. Objective Alignment: "Is there a clear mapping showing how the specified Use Cases and Functions serve a higher-level Objective?"
Applies to: Use Case with Claims
Use Case with Claims
Meets the criterion:
High-level objectives are visible and echoed in claims and flows.
(Potential) Improvements:
No notes
5. Pattern Application: "Are recurring design problems addressed using clearly documented Team/Interaction Design Patterns with forces, solution, consequences, and links to UCs/Claims?"
Applies to: Team Design Pattern; Interaction Design Patterns
Team Design Pattern; Interaction Design Patterns
Meets the criterion:
TDP outlines hybrid oversight for morally sensitive cases; IDPs include problem, principle, solution, and references.
Patterns are linked to UC claims (e.g., interest gathering, prompting, timing).
(Potential) Improvements:
Provide explicit link to the mentioned “TDP2: Supported Moral Decision-Making”, “TDP3: Coactive Moral Decision-Making.”
6. Traceability to Foundation: "Is there clear traceability from Foundation findings to Specification artefacts (Functions/Claims/Requirements) and forward to planned Measures?"
Applies to: Use Case with Claims
Use Case with Claims
Meets the criterion:
Implicit linkages exist from scenario → UC steps → claims with some data provenance notes.
