MethodSL-DL-001
Failure mode
What this method prevents
A report is forwarded without its source register or permitted-use conditions, so the receiver treats it as more authoritative than it is.
Illustrative example
A client receiving an audit report also receives the claim register, evidence register, reliance finding and conditions of use.
How it works
A controlled sequence
- Transfer Scope Lock.
- Transfer the source and evidence register.
- Transfer achieved Reliance Class.
- Transfer limitations and expiry.
- State the receiver’s audit and review obligations.
- Record acceptance or rejection of the handover.
Reliance note
The method supports governance; it does not self-authorise a decision.
Application must be proportionate to the task, evidence and consequence level. The output should state what has been registered, what remains uncertain and which authorised human or organisation controls release.
