Acceptance criteria
The checklist of conditions that a piece of work must meet to be accepted as complete
What's it for?
Makes it clear what must be true before a piece of work can be called finished.
For example…
A password reset link must arrive quickly and expire after one hour
For an expenses form, acceptance criteria say receipts over £25 are mandatory and approved claims must appear in finance within one hour
Think of it like…
Restaurant booking: table for four at seven, high chair needed—clear conditions, not 'make it nice'
