• A Peer Stakeholder - Product Validation Review (PS-PVR) appraises the status ofproduct quality with respect to GOES-R Program definitions.

• Outcomes of PS-PVRs:

1. Declares products have achieved a product maturity level (Beta, Prov., Full)2. Provides guidance on work expected to achieve the next maturity level3. Plans release of data through product distribution outlets

ProductMaturityLevels

What do the three Product Maturity Levels mean?

Beta: The product is made available to users to gain familiarity with data formats and parameters. The product has been minimally validated and may still contain significant errors.

Provisional: Product analyses are sufficient to communicate product performance to users including documentation of known issues. The product performance has been demonstrated through a large, but still (seasonally or otherwise) limited, number of independent measurements. The analysis is sufficient for limited qualitative determinations of product fitness-for-purpose, and the product is potentially ready for testing operational use.

Full: Product is operational. All known product anomalies are resolved and/or documented and shared with the user community.
