Five steps to a documented scope decision

Use the playbook for one proposed workflow at a time. Each step produces a document the review team can examine.

01

Inventory the actions

List each action as a verb, an object, and a system.

02

Classify authority and reversibility

Assign an authority tier and check what the bank can actually reverse.

03

Write the reason first

Explain each placement in language the conduct committee can assess.

04

Apply the disqualifiers

Check attribution, remediation, and revenue-side safeguards.

05

Name owners and review dates

Give every human checkpoint a responsible person and a date for review.
