# Frequently Asked Questions

## What determines ‘full traceability’ in the release checklist?

The matrix can show 100% completion if all configured traceability checks are fulfilled, even if some items are present as dangling or unrelated, as long as they do not violate any enforced traceability rules - **depending on configured checks**.

If all default trace checks in the traceability module are 100%, the project will be viewed as having **full traceability.** While relationships are bidirectional in the data model, default traceability checks focus on **downstream enforcement** per [MAN-07](https://docs.ketryx.com/manuals/man-07-traceability) and the V-model.

Checks within your traceability module can be configured. For details, please see [trace configuration documentation here](https://docs.ketryx.com/reference/traceability-configuration).
