# Review release readiness with decision evidence

Illustrative planning brief; no automatic product import.

Illustrative case: a reporting change is ready for release, but its acceptance result, rollback route and a known label issue are scattered across messages.

## Decision

Ask the authorized release owner to approve, defer or limit the release after reviewing the evidence.

## Owned work

- Collect acceptance evidence
  - Owner role: QA reviewer
  - Acceptance evidence: The release note links the agreed behavior checks and their results.
- Confirm the recovery route
  - Owner role: Operations owner
  - Acceptance evidence: The approved runbook identifies recovery steps and the responsible operator.
- Record the known-risk decision
  - Owner role: Release owner
  - Acceptance evidence: The label issue is accepted, fixed or treated as a blocker with an explicit reason.

## Workflow

1. Identify the actual decision authority and your organization’s release procedure.
2. Gather acceptance, recovery and unresolved-risk evidence in one brief.
3. Record the decision and the follow-up owner before executing approved release steps.

## Judgment

This is a planning aid, not a deployment command, compliance sign-off or replacement for your production runbook.


## Filled illustrative decision

The illustrative packet contains the accepted report behavior, a tested rollback route and a known cosmetic label issue. The authorized owner chooses a limited release with the label follow-up named separately. That decision is recorded with its scope; a green build alone would not establish release approval.


## Workflow questions

### Does checking every box approve a release?

No. Local checks record your review only. The authorized release owner still makes the decision using actual evidence.

### Must every known issue block release?

The decision owner assesses impact and policy. Record the rationale and follow-up rather than hiding an issue to get a clean checklist.
