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 2
Tie each requested item to a specific decision and distinguish essential inputs from supporting material.
Step 3
Send the highest-priority missing items first with clear product identifiers.
Step 4
Reassess the queue after each response and retain unanswered questions as open tasks.
Worked example
A merchant has marketing brochures for a lamp but no confirmed manufacturer identity or matching instructions.
What the reviewer finds
- The brochure adds no support for the unresolved operator identity.
- A matching manual would unblock both warning and translation reviews.
