Expected supporting section and review route, agreed before testing:
Controlled analysis available in this environment (yes/no/not applicable):

For each check record OBSERVED / NOT OBSERVED / NOT APPLICABLE, the evidence
reference, the limitation and any follow-up owner. Do not count an assertion
from a sales presentation as an observed result.

1. CONTROLLED CURRENT MATERIAL
Can the reviewer identify the source policy, version, authority and scope?

5. POSSIBLE SOURCE INCONSISTENCY
Question affected by two materially opposing passages:
Are both exact passages preserved without the product silently choosing between
them or declaring a confirmed policy defect?
Result:

Limitation / follow-up:

6. ACCOUNTABLE CLARIFICATION
Can the user request clarification from the answer journey?

the clarification or dismissal, with a reason?
Is the outcome kept distinct from policy amendment, approval or a future answer?
Result:

8. SOURCE CHANGE AND RECONSTRUCTABLE RECORD
After replacing the source, is the earlier evidence treated as historical rather
than silently clarified as part of the new current version?
Can another authorised reviewer recover the question, source version, cited
sections, limitations, clarification and human follow-up from the retained record?
Is review assignment clearly distinct from approval?
Result:
Evidence reference:
Limitation / follow-up:
