How it works
Move from setup to a reviewable result
- Record the latest approved deliverables, exclusions, revision allowance, assumptions, and acceptance condition.
- Restate the incoming request in output, quantity, format, audience, channel, date, and acceptance terms.
- Classify it as clarification, correction, included revision, change request, defer, or decline.
- Expose effort, rate, price, timeline, dependencies, and tradeoffs before approval.
- Wait for the required written approval, record the route, deliver, and close the change log.
