vereistes

Vereistes is a plural noun used in several languages to denote conditions that must be met for an action, outcome, or decision to proceed. In English, the closest equivalents are 'requirements' or 'prerequisites.' The term appears in formal and technical contexts to describe criteria, standards, or constraints that define acceptability for a project, product, service, or process.

In project management and systems engineering, a vereistes document or list outlines user needs, functional capabilities, performance targets, and regulatory or quality constraints that a solution must satisfy. It forms the basis for design, development, verification, and validation, and supports traceability from requirements to implementation and testing.

In education and training, vereistes specify prerequisites for enrollment, such as prior courses, credits, or demonstrated competencies. In regulatory or contractual contexts, vereistes define compliance conditions and acceptance criteria that must be met for approval, funding, or procurement.

Usage notes: The term is more common in multilingual documents and may appear as a loanword or transliteration in English texts. Depending on context, writers may substitute 'requirements,' 'prerequisites,' or 'specifications' for clarity.
