In the process of developing the RISC-V Specification, the Architectural Review (AR) serves as a pivotal juncture. This review can occur at various stages: Planning, Development, Freeze, and Ratification-Ready.
During the Planning and Development phases, the AR functions primarily as a consultative activity, offering insights and suggestions for improvement. However, the AR conducted during the Freeze stage is particularly crucial, as it determines whether the specification is genuinely prepared to advance or if modifications and enhancements are needed. Lastly, an AR is mandated during the Ratification-Ready phase if the specification text has undergone substantial changes.
