## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Look for preparation.
2. Look for stage meaning.
3. Look for discussion need.

Interpretation caution: Not assessment of employee performance.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: Guidance mixes preparation with final approval steps.

Follow-up: After the proposed change, ask relevant participants whether this original issue still occurs: Guidance mixes preparation with final approval steps. Record what they experienced, including none or not applicable; changes in the sample do not establish causation.
