# Plan a recovery route from a declared exception state

Illustrative planning brief; no automatic product import.

Synthetic planning case: An external model reaches review-error after a failed review attempt. Its recover action restores ready and clears the error flag; a separate receiving approval is still required to reach accepted.

## Decision

A successful recovery demonstrates review-error→ready with a cleared flag. It does not demonstrate acceptance; retain the separate approval transition and its missing evidence.

## Owned work

- Define the recovery target
  - Owner role: Model owner
  - Acceptance evidence: Ready with cleared error is the expected recovery state.
- Inspect retained obligations
  - Owner role: Reviewer
  - Acceptance evidence: Receiving approval is absent after recovery and remains required.
- Assign the next transition check
  - Owner role: Delivery owner
  - Acceptance evidence: An approval rehearsal is recorded separately before acceptance is claimed.

## Workflow

1. Define the recovery target. Check: Ready with cleared error is the expected recovery state.
2. Inspect retained obligations. Check: Receiving approval is absent after recovery and remains required.
3. Assign the next transition check. Check: An approval rehearsal is recorded separately before acceptance is claimed.

## Judgment

This is an invented recovery model, not an API retry recipe or native TeamBoostAI error behavior.


## Filled manual planning note

A successful recovery demonstrates review-error→ready with a cleared flag. It does not demonstrate acceptance; retain the separate approval transition and its missing evidence. Recover changes the error flag and returns the work to a reviewable origin. The accepted terminal requires another declared action; restoration is not completion of that action. This is an invented recovery model, not an API retry recipe or native TeamBoostAI error behavior.


## Working artifact

- Recovery target / Ready; error cleared / Verify both components
- Retained obligation / Receiving approval / Still absent after recovery
- Final acceptance / Separate approved transition / Do not infer from recovery success


## Workflow questions

### Does clearing the error mean the review passed?

No. It establishes recovery under this contract, not the later approval outcome.

### Can a model recover directly to accepted?

Only if that is its actual declared contract with supporting evidence; this example does not.

## Product connection

Use the owned checks and downloaded brief to discuss this planning decision alongside your TeamBoostAI tasks. Confirm available fields, roles and account features separately. The example is manual; it does not calculate live analytics, create work or run an experiment in the product.

Confirm account availability before adopting this manual outline.

## Original worked case

Synthetic records, manual planning only. No account import or live analytics.

### Inspect the invented case records

Stage | State | Error flag | Approval evidence
--- | --- | --- | ---
After failed review | Review-error | Set | Absent
After recover | Ready | Cleared | Still absent
After later approval | Accepted | Cleared | Required separate evidence

### Reasoning

Recover changes the error flag and returns the work to a reviewable origin. The accepted terminal requires another declared action; restoration is not completion of that action.

### Bounded result

A successful recovery demonstrates review-error→ready with a cleared flag. It does not demonstrate acceptance; retain the separate approval transition and its missing evidence.

### Distinct decision

The artifact checks a recovery transition’s exact target and retained approval obligation.

### Limits

This is an invented recovery model, not an API retry recipe or native TeamBoostAI error behavior.
