- Route formatting changes obscuring a substantive edit to the nominated reviewer before issuing the final result.
Questions to answer together
- What starts the work, and what marks it complete?
- Who reviews the intermediate result?
- Where does an exception go, and who resolves it?
What to have at the end
A sequence of steps showing inputs, decisions, handoffs and completion.
Record the decision on formatting changes obscuring a substantive edit alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
