A reviewer decides which prepared material or policy version production may use. Begin with the exact waiting changes, their agreed source and the author's intended outcomes. Review is a separate job from drafting or resolving the state of a particular piece.
Review the complete change
On Materials, compare the waiting definitions, aliases and retirements with the released set. An exact code is an identity, so do not treat a spelling change as cosmetic without checking its meaning. Materials have their own releases, separate from the policy release.
On Policy draft, inspect the saved revision, defaults, measurement practice and cut profile as well as individual rules. Check the rule order and each default. Verify that the examples express the agreed result independently, particularly for rejected conditions, missing facts, batch restrictions and useful-length boundaries.
Read proof as evidence
Run the proof for the intended saved revision and choose the rack to compare. Inspect the examples and the effects on pieces available there. Threshold checks just below, at and above a value help expose a reversed comparison. A green result does not prove an intention absent from the examples.
A policy release needs a current passing proof, a recorded reason and a second-factor check from the last five minutes. For local release, follow the distinct-reviewer notice. Once policy review is enrolled in Automation, independent case and whole-release reviews and exact Automation approval are required regardless of local self-review settings.
Prepare production for activation
Releasing a policy ends reservations under the previous policy. Those pieces need checking at their bins. Operations already checked out retain the policy snapshot they started with. Tell the supervisor about the resulting work rather than assuming every in-flight job changes immediately.
Use Prove and release policy for the decision and Control materials for material releases. Review a rollback as another production decision. If the draft or source changes, return to the current revision and examine its fresh evidence before proceeding.
