SoC Whiteboard Framework

SoC whiteboard flow

1. Draw hierarchy: domains, interfaces, and critical boundaries.
2. Draw baseline manifest box (inputs + versions).
3. Mark failing metric and first observed symptom.
4. Mark owner map (primary, co-owner, review owner).
5. Draw reduced experiment and expected movement.
6. Draw full regression matrix and exit criteria.

Key takeaways

• Strong answers are boundary- and owner-centered, not tool-centered.

• Always connect fix proposal to reproducibility and residual risk.

SoC deep dive

SoC integration closure depends on cross-domain contract integrity.

Reports and artifacts

• closure dashboard

• owner matrix

• regression summary

Mini case study

Capture baseline and owner before proposing fixes.

Debug branches

• Check baseline

• Check owner mapping

Senior review question

Ask: what baseline, owner, and artifact prove this topic is truly closed?

Key takeaways

• State baseline manifest and owner with every closure metric.

• Run cross-domain regression after every top-level fix.

Common pitfalls

• Comparing results across different manifests.

• Unowned issues slipping through review cycles.

• Waiving risks without expiry and validation plan.
