Automate repetition
Remove duplicate entry where the source and field mapping are clear, without pretending that extraction is approval.
ALTERNATIVE / 07 / CHECK BEFORE ISSUE
Move beyond manual entry without hiding the review work.
What to evaluate when a shared workbook has become too slow to maintain and too difficult to verify.
THE AUTOMATION BOUNDARY
REVIEW IMPORTED DATA BEFORE ISSUE. A qualified person must decide whether it belongs in the record, what evidence supports it, and whether it is ready to release.
Expose uncertainty
Keep missing fields, conflicting signals, and low-confidence matches visible before a record reaches QA.
Release evidence
Make the source, reviewer, repair state, and final release decision travel together at handoff.
