Fictional example
“Batch record and deviation report reviewed. No issues noted.”
Which records, dated when, and what did each one show? The entry names none of them.

A record can say one thing and leave one question open.
Work through the questions against one decision. Connect each answer to the records behind it, mark what is documented and what is not, and see what needs attention.
This example is fictional. It shows where to look. It does not decide whether a decision was acceptable.

Response template
Put one decision through it.
Choose one decision you need to be able to explain, then examine what its records support.
- Bring one decision and its records.One consequential decision, and the person closest to its records.
- Answer from the record, not from memory.If you cannot point to where an answer is written down, it is not in the record yet. That is the finding.
- Bring it together in the brief.The questions most likely to be challenged, the exposure that remains, and your recorded conclusion and next actions.
Leave with a clearer view of what your record can support.
The Inspection Question Brief, a readiness count and a prioritized repair plan.
- Where the record answers. The answers you can point to, with the record behind each.
- Where it does not. The exposure that remains, set out so it can be repaired or escalated.
- What to do next. Your recorded conclusion and next actions.
Choose the decision you want to examine.
Use the Inspection Question Pack to connect your answers to the records, and to see which questions remain.
A structured review of your own records. It is not a compliance determination, and it does not predict inspection outcomes.

Product details
What is included
- Twenty investigator-style questions, five under each of the four lenses
- A Response Builder for each lens: your answer, the records that prove it, and a status
- A gap playbook and six weak-versus-stronger answer structures
- The Inspection Question Brief, a readiness count and a prioritized repair plan, in a 20-page fillable PDF
Who should use it, and who does what
- You want to see what an investigator would ask about a decision before they ask it.
- You are preparing for an inspection and want to know which answers you can support from the record today.
- You are new to a decision and need a structured way to find the gaps in its record.
The executive
Reads the first page and the results: the readiness count, the exposure and the next actions. Decides on anything marked for escalation.
The decision owner
Completes the rest from the record. Brings: one consequential decision, and the person closest to its records.
When the tool is complete, the Readout turns the counts into one page the executive can read at a glance.
The four lenses it leans on
Each tool tests a decision against the evidence, judgment, risk and authorization behind it. The markers show which ones this tool leans on most.
- Evidenceprimary
- Judgmentsecondary
- Risksecondary
Where it stops
- It shows where your answers are documented, partly documented or not in the record. It does not supply the answers, and it does not predict what an inspector will ask.
- It does not decide for you, and it does not state that a decision is compliant or ready for inspection.
- It is a fillable PDF you complete from your own records. Every worked example in it uses a fictional decision and says so.
- It is not legal or regulatory advice.
Other tools
If a check shows a gap, the next step is the record itself. See the Inspection Response Record.
