Policy governs keep, storage and search decisions. Start from the agreed process requirement, then open the policy draft. A rule, an example, a proof and a release are separate parts of the work. Do not treat a plausible description as production approval.
Save the intended rule
Choose the relevant stage and Add a rule. Write What it does, in a sentence, give it a stable key and set its order. Each order is used once per stage, with lower numbers tried first. Choose What it decides before editing the condition that determines when it applies.
Use the fields and operators the stage offers. Keep exact material, family and rack values. Enter length conditions in a supported unit and verify the displayed meaning. If assisted description is available, inspect the proposed condition and explicit outcome before applying it to the draft. An unavailable or unclear proposal leaves the structured editor as the source of saved meaning.
State expected outcomes independently
Add an example for each rule and each stage default. Enter piece or job facts and the result the agreed process should produce. Decide the expected result from that source before comparing the candidate. Include permitted and refused conditions, batch differences and lengths near any important threshold.
For a keep threshold, a case exactly at the threshold and one just below answer a more useful question than several comfortable passes far above it. For a candidate restriction, include a physically long enough piece that must still be rejected for the specified reason.
Save before proving
Keep each rule or example in the draft, then choose Save rules and examples. Unsaved changes are explicitly separate from the revision used by proof and release. Save Defaults, measurement practice and cut profile through their own draft form when those need changing.
Pass the exact saved revision and process source to the reviewer. Follow Prove and release policy. A passing proof can support only the intentions represented by its checks, so expand the evidence before asking for approval when a new operational case matters.
