Review procedure

These are suggested operational checks to apply to your own evidence. They are not additional legal requirements or claims that the workspace automates this entire task.

Step 1

Record the installed version, host page and configuration needed to trigger the issue.

Step 2

Reduce the reproduction while retaining the interaction that causes the barrier.

Step 3

Describe expected and actual behavior with keyboard or assistive-technology evidence.

Step 4

Agree an owner and retest condition, then verify the fix in the original store integration.

Worked example

An embedded review widget steals focus after loading, but the vendor cannot reproduce it on its standalone demo.

What the reviewer finds

  • The defect occurs only with the store's delayed-loading configuration.
  • The standalone demo does not reproduce the focus jump.

Resulting record

A vendor defect handoff with integration-specific reproduction and acceptance checks.

Boundary: A vendor acknowledgement or patch note is not evidence that the store integration is fixed.

This scenario is fictional. It illustrates a review decision, not a customer outcome or a compliance determination.
