HCDI Certified Independent Reviewer

Chapter 11. Recording completion, and staleness

HCDI platform rule (Unit 4.6). Recording the review completion is the reviewer's one act. Record it last, after the actions are final, with a note of what you reviewed. A completion goes stale when a corrective action changes after it, when the assessment returns to draft, or when the assignment is revoked. Finalize refuses until it is recorded again. A stale review is a review of something that no longer exists. Re-recording it is a fresh judgement, not a formality. Common Error. Recording completion early "to be ready" and then re-recording it without re-reading what changed.

A changed record can make a review stale#

Basis - general professional knowledge and editorial explanation. External references are identified explicitly; this section adds no HCDI rule.

A completion concerns the assessment actually reviewed. Later action changes, return to draft or assignment revocation affect that relationship. Re-recording is a fresh judgement, not a routine renewal. Compare the changed material and its consequences before acting. This is public staleness logic, not protected methodology testing.

Original exercise L4 E11#

Basis - original fictional exercise. The organisation, events and any numbers are invented for learning. No HCDI result is assigned.

A reviewer records completion. A corrective action is edited afterward; the team asks for an immediate repeat click.
