Mar 20 at 20:19 comment added jsw29 @StephanSamuel, as you yourself say: 'a pass when conditions are met' (but not before).
Mar 20 at 19:52 comment added Stephan Samuel @jsw29 pardon me if I'm being dense, but in the OP's table, each of the possibilities starts with the word, "pass," which, to me, indicates that it is a pass when conditions are met, not fail until conditions are met. This fits very squarely under every use of, "provisional[ly] pass," that I've ever encountered.
Mar 20 at 15:43 comment added Nuclear Hoagie +1, I've seen this phrase used very commonly in academic decision letters. I don't find the OP's usage example as connoting that the work should be considered a "fail" for the time being. A conditional acceptance with a clear path to full acceptance is conceptually much closer to a "pass" than a "fail".
Mar 19 at 21:28 comment added jsw29 Provisional pass does not convey quite the same idea as is expressed in the second paragraph. Saying that something received a provisional pass may be understood to mean that it will be treated as having passed for the time being, but that the matter will be revisited after the period for which the provisional pass is valid. The OP is, on the other hand looking for a term that means that it will be treated as having failed, until the specified conditions are met.
