The operating problem
The decision is one moment. Its basis is scattered across the set.
A requirement can sit in a specification, a conflicting quantity on a drawing, and a missing responsibility in a trade scope. The review has to connect them before the commitment is made.
- Drawing to specification
- An indicated assembly and its written requirement can carry different assumptions.
- Contract to trade scope
- Ownership, exclusions, and handoffs can depend on language outside the scope sheet.
- Revision to decision
- A later issue can change the basis the project team believed it had reviewed.
Illustrative review item
A conclusion your team can trace.
A useful work product keeps the issue, its source references, a draft question, and the next action together. This composite example does not use customer documents.

Recommended action
Resolve before quote leveling and document the accepted basis.
Discovery standard
