Verification: [ ] All 10 sections mapped to target documents
- Plan approved: User confirmed all 5 questions
- Source analyzed: Both documents read and understood
- Existing docs reviewed: Documents 02, 05, 06, 07 current state documented
- Integration strategy defined: Clear mapping and approach
- Step completion: Each document update completed before moving to next
- Content accuracy: Each section accurately represents source material
- Format consistency: All documents follow docs/claude/ style
- Link validation: Internal links tested as created
- Content completeness test: All 19 source sections present across 4 documents
- Link integrity test: All cross-references functional
- Duplication test: No contradictions between documents
- Readability test: Logical flow in each document
- Template validation: All templates complete and usable
- Code example validation: All code blocks have syntax highlighting
- Preservation test: Existing content retained in all documents
- Case study validation: All 3 case studies included with full detail
Objective: Verify all source material integrated
