Aglet

Verify that duplicated work was consolidated correctly

Consolidation is complete only when the resulting record preserves what mattered in both tracks. Verification should follow links, compare scope, and exercise the next action so a clean queue does not hide a missing result. Retain the distinct evidence before deleting a track.

Check whether the outcome improved

  1. Audit retained coverage

    Compare the consolidated scope with both original records and confirm unique contexts, findings, dissent, and unresolved risks remain accessible. Check that excluded work has a reason and does not disappear from history.

  2. Run the next action

    Have the canonical owner perform the agreed next step using the merged context. Record whether dependencies, evidence requests, or acceptance conditions were lost during consolidation. Run the canonical next action with both tracks’ required context still available.

  3. Check closure and ownership

    Verify one accountable owner, clear status, linked sources, and a stop or revisit rule for any independent check. If scope was accidentally dropped, reopen the split and restore the missing work.

What to carry forward

Verification passes when one record preserves relevant coverage, the canonical next action works, and ownership and revisit rules are clear. If consolidation removed a meaningful condition or finding, restore a separate scope rather than treating duplication as fully resolved. Keep any lost independent coverage visible as a follow-up rather than assuming equivalence.

Keep the decision with the work.

Use a Work Item in Aglet to record the problem, the evidence you have, and the next decision. Add an owner and priority, then keep updates in the discussion so the next person can follow the reasoning.
