Frame the operating decision
Which outputs can move forward after review? When should a reviewer improve the output rather than reject it? Use the combined view to name the business outcome, source of truth, and owner who will decide whether to proceed.
Set the control boundary
Which defects require the output to be stopped? Which topics, customers, or decisions require a higher-authority reviewer? State the risk to avoid, review or escalation route, and record needed to keep the workflow controlled.
Commit to the first move
Which outputs should be sampled later for quality and pattern detection? What confidence, risk, value, or topic rule triggers review? Record the smallest safe scope, baseline, owner, evidence, decision date, and next action.
Decision summary
What confidence, risk, value, or topic rule triggers review? What must the reviewer see before approving? Summarize the proposed move, operating benefit, and the evidence that supports it.
Evidence and control
What should be logged after review? State the source, review boundary, accountable owner, and condition that would require revision or pause. Keep the decision receipt with the workflow record.
Next review
Record the decision owner, evidence source, review date, and the explicit condition to scale, revise, defer, or stop. Confirm how the resulting decision will be communicated, implemented, and retained in the operating record.

Frame the decision
Name the real operating need before designing a solution.
Draft, summary, recommendation, classification, task, message, or tool action.
Name the role with enough judgment and authority to approve or override.
Describe what could go wrong if output bypasses review.
How to use it
Start with one real decision.
Complete the canvas with the workflow owner, then use the blank areas to expose missing context and controls.
