When the Spearman correlation is +1.00, it indicates a perfect monotonic relationship. While this doesn't guarantee a perfect linear relationship (required for a Pearson correlation of 1.00), it does ensure the Pearson correlation will be positive, as both types of correlations indicate the direction of association in the same way.
