Evidence Review Worksheet

Record the decision, requirement and object first. This avoids treating a document as sufficient merely because it appears formal or contains a favorable result.

Review item	Information to record
Decision	The question and choices the evidence must support
Requirement	Document, edition, clause or agreed condition
Object	Exact product, configuration, process or population
Source identity	Issuer, document title, identifier and edition
Evidence form	Full report, excerpt, data, declaration or interpretation
Sample	What was examined and its relationship to the object
Method	Designation, edition and relevant procedure
Conditions	Operating conditions, environment and reporting basis
Result	Value or conclusion as originally expressed, including units and qualifiers
Uncertainty	Reported uncertainty and its relevance to the decision
Completeness	Missing pages, references, qualifications or supporting material
Currency	Changes that could affect relevance, not merely document age
Rights	Permission to access, retain and share the material
Reviewer	Person or role responsible for the review
Open issues	Questions, evidence needed, owner and follow-up
Conclusion	What is supported, conditions and unresolved limits

Distinguish a checked fact from an assumption. For an unresolved item, record why it is unknown and whether the uncertainty could affect the decision.

Do not convert the number of completed fields into a quality score. A single missing condition can be decisive, while a fully completed record can still support only a limited conclusion.

Have the appropriate technical person examine material gaps. Keep the source edition and reasoning with the final decision. Revisit the record when the object, requirement or evidence changes.

Read Reading Technical Evidence for the reasoning behind the questions.
