3. Reviewable/refinable by outsiders - Process description can be viewed by others.
4. Work product is verifiable - an outsider can audit the process easily, can find out who is doing the process. Results of implementing the process are easily visible.
5. Requirements are documented - conditions of satisfaction
6. Time Requirements - how long it takes to do the process, step by step
7. Outcomes - intended outcomes are delineated
