## Completion rules

- Use **N/A with rationale** rather than leaving an item blank.
- Link or identify the evidence; do not paste unnecessary identity data into the checklist.
- A possible match, missing result or discrepancy requires review, not an automatic pass or fail.
- Every exception needs an accountable approver, compensating control, remediation owner and expiry date.
- Set both an evidence-expiry reminder and event-driven reassessment triggers.
