Review an exact candidate and its engineering impact

Compare full model differences, independent expectations and affected results before approval.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Reviewer, Author

On this page

Review queue contains submitted engineering candidates. A candidate fixes the model, independent cases, proof, contributors and impact for a particular draft revision. Review that exact content before deciding whether to approve or return it.

Check eligibility and source

Select the pending candidate and compare its family scope and source basis. Read contributor information. An eligible reviewer must not have changed its model or expectations. Another account with the same role is not enough if that person contributed earlier.

Compare complete previous and candidate models, exact differences and Independent expected values and actual outcomes. Inspect input boundaries, calculations, component identities, dimensions, optional lines, blocking conditions and tables. Verify expectations against their engineering basis rather than trusting the green result alone.

Review the affected work

Inspect the retained engineering impact. Where classification and a reason are required, explain what the change means for affected results and earlier packs. A cosmetic-looking difference can still alter a component identity or dimensional calculation.

Acknowledge that you reviewed exact changes, independent expectations and intended engineering scope. If needed, set Release expiry using the displayed local time control. After that time the release and its results are held. Leave it empty only when no scheduled expiry is intended.

Approve or return deliberately

Choose Approve this candidate for the checked version. The server rechecks proof and content identity. If corrections are required, enter Reason to return this candidate and use the return action. Give the author enough detail to create evidence for the disputed meaning.

Approval creates a retained release. It does not select it as the active model for new evaluations. Continue through Activate an approved release, which has its own current impact comparison and independent authority checks.

This release remains evaluation-only. A successful candidate review does not establish customer engineering qualification for manufacture. Keep that boundary explicit when sharing review findings with the supervisor or a recipient of an evaluation pack.
