## Prove a StoresFlow stores policy

1. **Load the current StoresFlow revision**

   Load the current StoresFlow revision

   Read the approved stores policy, check selections and independent expected stock policy results from StoresFlow before making a change.

2. **Prepare the complete stores policy candidate**

   Freeze the complete stores policy and its independently approved expected stock policy results together.

3. **Verify every expected stock policy result**

   Verify every expected stock policy result

   Run StoresFlow’s complete check and retain its original proof before requesting a release review.

4. **Assemble the exact stores policy release**

   Assemble the exact stores policy release

   Keep the whole verified stores policy and its independent expected stock policy results in one exact release proposal.

5. **Request an independent stores policy review**

   Send the complete release to StoresFlow for a separate reviewer to check. This does not activate it.

The original result stays with StoresFlow. A complete release still needs independent approval before production can use it.
