Verify review coverage after redistributing a queue

Verification should test the new review path on real bounded decisions. Confirm alternate reviewers receive enough context, required approvals remain intact, and queue movement reflects completed decisions rather than unrecorded shortcuts. Verification should show that work moved through an acceptable review path, not merely that the queue got shorter.

Check whether the outcome improved

  1. Check reviewer qualification

    Confirm each reassigned item matches the alternate reviewer’s authority and expertise boundary. Ensure required signoffs, privacy limits, and dependency decisions remain assigned to the role that controls them. Confirm the delegated item’s decision boundary before treating alternate review as equivalent.

  2. Audit review evidence

    Follow the question, evidence, decision, dissent, and outcome for a redistributed item. Check that the record is understandable without a private conversation and that missing context returns the item for clarification.

  3. Compare queue movement

    Review waiting time, unresolved decisions, and reopen or escalation signals for the new path. Interpret changes cautiously; faster completion does not prove quality if decision scope or required review was reduced.

What to carry forward

Verification passes when reassigned decisions have qualified coverage, traceable evidence, intact required approvals, and an interpretable queue result. If an alternate path lacks authority or context, return the item to the scarce reviewer and record the capacity constraint.

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.
