01 / BUILD THE REVIEW
Review the draft ↓

A boundary before a test.

Prepare a scope the asset owner can review. Required fields form the core boundary; every blank remains an open item in the handoff.

01Purpose & ownership

Name the decision and who can authorize the review. Approval remains outside this tool.

02System boundary

Be precise about environments, accounts and dependencies. “None” is a decision; a blank is an open item.

03Execution constraints

Specify permitted methods, prohibitions, request limits and the timezone.

04Safety & handoff

Define stop/resume authority, operational contact, evidence handling and review ownership.

Understand the result.
