Documentation by design

What to capture, where it lives, and how to make it useful when questions show up later.

Documentation Workflow clarity Audit posture

Key takeaways

  • Capture intent.
    Record why a check exists for a role—not just that it was run.
  • Standardize labels.
    Inconsistent naming makes reporting unusable under pressure.
  • Preserve outcomes.
    When asked later, the organization needs the decision narrative.
  • Make audit export a first-class feature.
    If it takes a week to assemble, you’re already behind.
