Review and evidence

The assessment is the common parent for supporting attachments, permit measurements, review decisions and operation receipts. An attachment names its evidence type, uploader, upload date and visibility. A reviewer decision names the independent reviewer, decision, reason, decision date and source revision. The source revision matters when a measurement changes between submission and decision. The reviewer checks the reading and its support under the assessment before recording a decision. The operation receipt records the attempted action, expected revision, result and occurrence date.

These records answer different questions. The attachment shows what was available. The decision shows what the reviewer concluded and why. The receipt shows what happened when a guarded operation was attempted. A completed receipt should not replace the reviewer’s reason; a failed receipt should remain visible so the lead can investigate the attempted change.

• Attachments. Keep supporting files under the assessment with explicit evidence type and visibility.
• Decisions. Record approve, reject or return with a reason and the source revision reviewed.
• Receipts. Inspect each operation result and retain its key, expected revision and failure reason.

Decide which evidence types are required for a submitted permit measurement and whether an attachment is internal or shared. Agree how the reviewer verifies that an attachment belongs to the reading under consideration. Define how a changed reading is resubmitted so the decision refers to the correct revision. Identify who investigates failed and needs-review receipts and how they determine whether another attempt is appropriate.

The reviewer and recorder should rehearse a returned submission. A missing required file must lead to a return rather than an approval. A decision for an older revision must not silently approve a newer value. The compliance lead should be able to inspect both the human reason and the operation outcome before treating the case as settled.

A recorder submits a permit reading after adding a source file to its assessment. The independent reviewer checks the measurement and attachment. The attachment’s evidence type and upload date help establish what was present at review time. The reviewer records an approve decision with a reason and the source revision. If a guarded attempt is made, its operation receipt shows the action, expected revision and result.

Now consider that the attachment was omitted. The reviewer records a return decision with a reason. The recorder adds the evidence and submits the revised measurement. The reviewer examines the new revision before deciding again. If the guarded operation fails, the receipt records the failure reason and remains in the exception view for follow-up. No participant needs to infer the outcome from a changed status alone.

• Operation exceptions — Investigate failed or needs-review guarded attempts.
• Measurements awaiting review — Find submitted readings whose evidence and revision need a decision.
• Measurement decisions — Revisit the resulting status and decision date.
