01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A question about a quality or compliance case

“Assess the case using approved quality documents, identify the relevant requirement and recommended action when supported, and flag insufficient evidence for manual review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Checks a submitted question against approved reference documents, prepares a structured preliminary assessment, records the outcome, and alerts the quality team when a case needs review or escalation.

  1. Collect the quality question

    Record the submitted question and available case context so the assessment has a clear subject.

  2. Check approved reference material

    Use the controlled quality documents selected by your team and keep relevant source references with the assessment.

  3. Prepare a preliminary classification

    Organize the supported finding into the team’s categories, severity, affected requirement, and suggested action.

  4. Flag insufficient evidence

    Mark cases that the reference material does not resolve and send them to the quality team for manual review.

  5. Record the assessment

    Keep the classification, evidence, review status, and escalation details in the audit record.

  6. Notify the quality team when needed

    Bring escalated cases and items awaiting manual review to the people responsible for quality decisions.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

The handoff

A recorded preliminary classification, severity, supporting references, and any review or escalation status needed by the quality team.

Keep in mind

The classification is not a final compliance determination. When the evidence is insufficient, conflicting, or calls for escalation, the quality team must review the source material and decide what action to take.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Maintain the approved quality references

Choose the controlled documents the review may use and confirm that the team keeps them current.

Define classifications and severity

Document the quality categories, severity guidance, and escalation conditions your team uses.

Prepare the audit record

Choose the fields needed to retain the case, finding, source references, review status, and escalation outcome.

Assign quality reviewers

Choose who receives uncertain and escalated cases, and test the manual-review and notification paths.
