RECORD ANATOMY

What this control needs to be reviewable.

Objective
Make preference pathway test an inspectable system decision with a named owner, defined trigger and retrievable evidence.
Rationale
Design affirmative choices, receipts and withdrawal propagation as inspectable system events.
Owner model
Choice-experience owner · Identity or platform owner · Evidence reviewer
Review frequency
Before release, after integration change and through periodic sampling
Architecture layer
Choice and consent evidence

IMPLEMENTATION SEQUENCE

Move from scope to retrievable evidence.

  1. 01

    Scope the decision: define scope and evidence, record confidence and findings, then verify remediation independently.

  2. 02

    Record the approved design and its source-status verification boundary.

  3. 03

    Connect implementation events to evidence that a reviewer can retrieve without broad production access.

EVIDENCE ARTEFACTS

  • Test scope and sample
  • Timestamped result with evidence references
  • Finding and remediation record

CONTROL TEST

  1. Select a recent, in-scope sample for preference pathway test and record why it was chosen.
  2. Trace the sample from its trigger and owner through the implemented system to the retained evidence.
  3. Record exceptions, confidence and remediation without converting an unknown into a pass.

ANTI-PATTERNS

Completion labels can hide an evidence gap.

ARCHITECTURE → EVIDENCE DECISION JOURNEY

Each connection uses existing catalogue records. Source IDs remain verification pointers—not provision mappings.

CHANGE LOG

Version 1.3 — Architecture-to-evidence journey and non-personal review-route relationship added; verification-pointer boundary retained.

Version 1.2 — Official-source status rechecked; command-centre indexing and the non-mapping boundary retained.

Version 1.1 — Engineering fields, source verification pointers and acceptance evidence reviewed.

Version 1.0 — Stable catalogue ID, objective, evidence model, test sequence and verification boundary established.
