Prepare the complete procedure and verify its expected routes.

## Prove a WorkSteps procedure

1. **Load the current WorkSteps revision**

   Load the current WorkSteps revision

   Read the approved procedure, route choices and independent expected routes from WorkSteps before making a change.

2. **Prepare the complete procedure candidate**

   Prepare the complete procedure candidate

   Freeze the complete procedure and its independently approved expected routes together.

3. **Verify every expected route**

   Verify every expected route

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

4. **Assemble the exact procedure release**

   Assemble the exact procedure release

   Keep the whole verified procedure and its independent expected routes in one exact release proposal.

5. **Request an independent procedure review**

   Request an independent procedure review

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

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