Learning owner

During review
Expect evidence questions, not a new project
Reviewers consider whether the files support the narrative and whether the four areas connect. A clarification request may ask for context, a date, the meaning of a field or the relationship between feedback and a future action.
Keep one controlled version of the index. Answer only the question asked, identify any replacement file clearly and explain unavoidable gaps rather than masking them.
Avoidable friction
Common causes of delay
Often slows review
- Undated files or mixed review periods
- Unexplained totals and inconsistent labels
- Personal data that is not needed
- A narrative that does not point to evidence
Keeps work moving
- A short scope note and stable index
- Named owners for each evidence area
- Clear file dates and version control
- Prompt, concise clarification responses
