Waiting until completion to inspect work can make defects harder to correct. A quality plan should identify checks before important work is covered or subsequent trades begin.

## What to do
- Agree inspection points with the responsible technical reviewer.- Record accepted work and unresolved defects by location.- Check that approved materials and revisions are the ones installed.

## Keep the scorecard small and explainable
Choose measures that support decisions about quality, continuity, and cost. Define each numerator, denominator, and reporting period so the same event is counted consistently. Separate missing data from a good result and show the effect of small sample sizes. Use the underlying events to investigate a change rather than assuming that a higher or lower score explains its cause.

A review should end with a small number of actions, each linked to a recurring issue and an owner. Recheck whether the action changed the outcome in the next period. Keep commercial discussions connected to this evidence instead of relying on general impressions.

## Illustrative buying situation
Consider this hypothetical example.

A project plans to inspect everything at the end, but some work will be concealed before then. Ask the responsible technical reviewer to identify the necessary intermediate inspection points. Record acceptance and unresolved issues by area before subsequent work proceeds. This does not replace the final handover; it preserves the opportunity to examine work when it is accessible. Progressive checks can make corrections more practical and reduce uncertainty at completion.

## Your next decision
Use progressive acceptance to reduce late rework while preserving the final handover inspection.
