Make progress, evidence, and decisions visible

Track Work from Assignment Through Approval

Follow each assignment from release through completion, review, correction, and approval while keeping the supporting evidence and decisions in context.

Completion is a contractor submission. Approval is an authorized review decision.

Assignment lifecycle Every status has a clear purpose
Assigned The work has been released
Active The assignment is underway
Submitted Completion records are ready for review
Review Evidence and exceptions are being checked
Approved The authorized decision is recorded

Completed is not the same as approved

Contractor submission

  • Status update
  • Time and expense information
  • Files, forms, photographs, or deliverables
  • Completion notes

Authorized review

  • Scope comparison
  • Evidence check
  • Exception resolution
  • Approval or return for correction

Keep corrections inside the assignment

A missing item should create a visible review loop, not a new email thread.

  1. 1

    Submit

    The contractor provides the required completion record.

  2. 2

    Review

    The authorized reviewer checks scope, evidence, and exceptions.

  3. 3

    Return

    A clear request identifies what must be corrected or added.

  4. 4

    Resubmit

    The reviewer evaluates the new information against the assignment.

  5. 5

    Approve

    The final review decision is recorded.

What reviewers need before approval

  • The approved assignment scope
  • Required completion evidence
  • Submitted time, expenses, or materials where applicable
  • Open questions and correction requests
  • The final authorized decision

Example

The assignment is complete, but a required form is missing

The reviewer can request the missing form while reviewing the submitted time, photographs, notes, and communication currently available for the assignment. The correction is evaluated against that assignment.

Carry the approved record forward

Once review is complete, the trusted operational information can support the next authorized process.

01

Client visibility

Share only the approved progress or completion information permitted for the client.

02

Financial review

Use the approved assignment record when preparing invoice details or contractor payables.

03

Operational reporting

Review status and exceptions using the connected assignment record.

Questions

What teams usually ask

Can completion and approval be separate?

Yes. A contractor can submit completion information before an authorized reviewer accepts it.

Does a correction create a new assignment?

No. The workflow lets the team review the submission, follow-up, correction, and approval against the same assignment.
