22 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1explicit / well defined Explanation: This sounds like standard process control (aka quality control) for software development: the various stages must be well defined, the critia for progressing from one stage to the next must be well defined, and the transitions from one stage to the next must be controlled and documented. The control and documentation usually take place by means of formal review and signoff. I'd say 'the transitions must be be explicit' (if that fits the register) or 'well defined', although that sounds weaker to me than 'explicit'. |

14 hrs confidence:
distinctly evident Explanation: Summary so far: "The transfer / transition / transmission / passing of a package from one production / creation / creative / development stage / step / phase / area to the next must be clearly / specifically / precisely / distinctly / obviously / unambiguously / explicitly discernible / visible / detectable / recognizable / apparent / clear-cut / evident / marked / noted / well defined / obvious / observable / distinguishable." I might write: The transfer of a package from one development stage to the next must be distinctly evident. |

18 hrs confidence:
explicitly (see below) Explanation: You already have perhaps too many half-guesswork answers, but I hope to be helpful despite this with mine: "The installation package must be explicitly handed over to the next (?development / ?production) step." or "the process of handing over the package to the next step (in the development process) must be explicit." I assume, perhaps wrongly, that it's about ensuring that people hand stuff on properly, which one can imagine can fail to happen in poorly co-ordinated organisations. |
