Readiness – that’s it!
What it takes to be ready depends on your context
How long has the team been working together?

How well do they know the domain?
Is the product owner (customer) embedded and working with the team?
Most teams I work with the product owner needs input from subject matter experts, line of business managers and operational staff to make the best decision for the product which means the product owner needs to be working with the team during the sprint to make ready the candidate stories for the next sprint.
