Qualified reviewer
A person with task competence, evidence access, error-detection ability, time, and authority to reject or stop.
Definition
A person with task competence, evidence access, error-detection ability, time, and authority to reject or stop.
Practical test
Can the named person detect the specific important failure from available evidence and exercise authority to reject or stop?
Example
A finance owner may verify invoice rules; a general operator without those rules is not qualified merely because they approve the output.
What to record
For qualified reviewer to be operational rather than a reassuring label, record the required competence, evidence access, review time, independence, authority, and backup route. If those facts cannot be observed or tested, do not treat the term itself as evidence that the workflow is safe.
