Research question
A method for matching operations roles to duties, approvals, and removal.
Population and evidence
Define the population from a fixed export and record the query date, filters, source, and exclusions. Sample across teams, owners, and exception states.
Method
Apply a short checklist and test it on a calibration sample. Record reviewer disagreement and revise definitions. Separate preparation from judgment: the reviewer classifies and routes; the authorized owner decides.
Limitations
The review describes the sampled records, not the whole population. A closed status is not proof of resolution. Report denominators and assign corrective actions an owner and retest date.
Practical use
Use one bounded review to improve a workflow, then retest. Operations access review requires effective permissions, purpose, approver, and removal evidence.
