Keep unknown conditions open

A phrase like ‘search should be fast’ needs agreed conditions, such as dataset size and response time. Do not invent numbers that have not been agreed.

Keep a reviewed baseline

Review gaps and wording before registering requirements in PLARO. Compare later meeting changes with existing items and create a new version for the changes you apply.
