- tender documents and a query register.

Workflow mapping for this project
- Start when tender documents and a query register is available and approved for use.
- Create a draft of draft clarification questions with page references, with source references attached.
- Route gaps that cannot be resolved from the documents 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 gaps that cannot be resolved from the documents alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
