The author submits a complete draft for review. A different authorised member checks the range, exact unit, component classification, input mode, source type, distributions, divisors, sensitivity coefficients, degrees of freedom, fixed coverage policy, and effective dates.
- Open Calibration, then Uncertainty budgets.
- Open the budget and inspect the draft revision and every ordered component.
- If you are the author, select Submit for review using the current revision version.
- Have a different authorised member reopen the budget and select Approve revision.
Approval freezes the revision content and integrity hash. A version conflict means another member changed the lifecycle first; reload before deciding what to do.
If a submitted revision is unsuitable, an independent reviewer can Reject for correction with a reason. The author can also Withdraw for correction. The reviewed content is retained; use Create replacement draft to correct it and submit the replacement for a fresh review. Approval of the replacement supersedes the previous approved revision.
The author or submitter cannot approve their own revision. Approval of a newer revision does not alter calculations already frozen against an older revision.
Review the displayed author, change summary and exact submitted revision. The component definitions show saved distributions and divisor modes, explicit values or derived defaults, sensitivity, degrees of freedom and provenance. Infinite degrees of freedom is shown as an assumption rather than missing evidence.
Use Calculate preview on the saved revision to inspect the same backend calculation available to the author. Review any sample inputs and assumptions alongside the result. Incomplete work-dependent inputs do not establish a definitive U; a successful sample preview does not prove reference-standard eligibility for real work. Check resolution models against their sources rather than replacing every Normal distribution.
Next: Assign an uncertainty budget.
