How can I tell if training material really captures conditional approval behaviour?

A checklist of signs that a data source models conditional gating faithfully, rather than collapsing it into a simple approve or reject flow with a free-text note.

Use this list to judge whether a source of material captures the conditional-approval workflow rather than a simple approve or reject flow.

- The approval record is separate from the clearance that lets later work proceed, so the two can disagree. - Each condition has its own owner, evidence requirement and due date, rather than sitting in one free-text note. - Evidence can be partial, late, outdated or rejected, and the record shows the reason for each assessment. - Some conditions are waived or varied, with a named role holding the authority to do so and a cited policy clause. - Conditions can be added after the original decision when new facts emerge, such as a changed scope or a site finding. - Approvals can lapse or be reissued, and the status of dependent work changes with them. - Downstream teams ask to proceed before the gate is open, and the correct response in the record is to hold. - Handover notes between shifts or teams state which conditions remain open and why, and can be checked against the register.

Use these signs to screen any source quickly; material missing most of them will not exercise the behaviour that matters.
