|---|---|
| Decision makers / users | Finance, HR, procurement and internal audit |

Approve export scope and redact out-of-scope data before sealing a separate package.
| Recipient | Artifact |
|---|---|
| Source system | Intake receipts, source/revision-to-archiveId/jobId mappings and per-item errors. |
| Package recipient | Decision/minutes package with traceable adjustment reports. |
| Record owner / operations | Completed/outstanding inventory, applied decisions and report references; no automatic legal conclusion. |

Download synthetic dossier| Test | Expected outcome |
|---|---|
| Intact | File inventory, size and SHA-256 match the manifest. |
| Missing / changed bytes | The verifier rejects the package without claiming inventory success. |
| Sector business case | Replaying one event cannot increase usage totals. |
Test revision changes and event replay; do not double-count usage or overwrite historical records.
Prepare a sector-specific request| Control point | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Source event | Governance decisions and approved documents for an audit period. |
| Revision / decision | Retain approver, document set and effective date; supplements have their own relationships. |
| Test and expected result | Do not export outside authorized units; reconcile all in-period decisions. |
Sample inventory/hashing checks bytes only. Authorization, decision and state cases must run in the provisioned test environment before business acceptance.
