Approval should never be implied. It should be explicit, attributable, and tied to the reviewed revision.
This standard reduces ambiguous approvals and gives teams defensible decision records.
Confirmation standard
- State whether output meets the current team standard.
- Reference what was reviewed and why it passed or failed.
- Capture reviewer identity and timestamp in Review Queue.
- Require re-confirmation after material revision changes.
Apply this with adjacent controls
- Pair with export gate enforcement so unconfirmed output cannot ship.
- Pair with audit-ready reporting so confirmations are available for diligence reviews.
