Reviewable records

Reviewables are organization records that must be evaluated before they become approved or available for controlled use.

Common reviewable types

The queue can include protocols, workflows, ingredients, tools, species, plasmids, molecular designs, files, imported records, and other enabled entities.

Sources

A record may become reviewable because it was newly created, imported from a file, generated or assisted by AI, copied, versioned, or materially changed.

Review states

  • Draft or pending: awaiting a decision.
  • Approved: accepted for the permitted use and exact version.
  • Rejected or changes requested: not accepted; corrective work is required.
  • Archived: retained for history but not active for normal use.

Review procedure

Review the complete record, source, version, dependencies, files, inventory behavior, scientific content, and compliance context. Use an electronic signature when required.

Approval should not be based only on the record title or summary. Bulk approval should be limited to records with a common and documented review basis.

AI-assisted content

AI-generated content remains the responsibility of the approving organization. Verify every instruction, unit, material, timing assumption, sequence, citation, and safety or compliance implication.

AI action plans are a separate execution-review surface. Review every proposed action before approval; see AI action plans.

Change after approval

A material change should create a new version or return the record to review. Historical executions and signatures should remain associated with the version originally used.
