Review Checklist for Abstract Models (LEF/DEF/Timing) focuses on abstract-model mismatch defects, floorplan integration churn. The goal is to map symptoms to boundary contracts, owner actions, and regression-proof closure.
Baseline manifest and revision are explicit.
Boundary contracts for this topic are current and approved.
Ownership map covers all open issues.
Focused and full regression evidence both exist.
Residual risks are either closed or bounded via waiver policy.
Owners signed: PD owner, IP physical owner, STA owner.
OWNERSHIP MAP — Abstract Models (LEF/DEF/Timing)
artifact owner
----------------- -----------------
primary owner PD owner
co-owner IP physical owner
review owner STA owner
No top-level issue should remain ownerless beyond one review cycle.IP handoff quality and version governance drive integration velocity.

Correlate issue to owner boundary
Ask: what baseline, owner, and artifact prove this topic is truly closed?
State baseline manifest and owner with every closure metric.
Run cross-domain regression after every top-level fix.
Comparing results across different manifests.
Unowned issues slipping through review cycles.
Waiving risks without expiry and validation plan.
Top-level integration relies on abstract views (timing, physical, power) that must remain aligned with evolving implementation details.
