Zig Zag Decomposition

Validation & Consistency Tool for Problem-Based SRS methodology
Purpose: Map and decompose between CP, CN, and FR domains
Single Responsibility: Ensure traceability and consistency across domain hierarchies

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 RFC 2119 RFC 8174 when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

Position in Process

This skill is used during and after Steps 1, 3, and 5 to validate and refine mappings between domains. It does not replace the generation skills—it complements them.

Diagram preference: When visualizing traceability mappings, prefer Mermaid UML diagrams (e.g., flowchart for hierarchy trees, graph for dependency maps) over ASCII art where rendering supports it.
