Research question
How should a manager review recurring work when checking every item is impractical? The useful unit is a completed decision or record with its evidence and outcome.
Stratify the queue
Separate ordinary work, new variants, high-value items, sensitive cases, overrides, and exceptions. Review more from risky or unfamiliar groups.
Classify findings
Record the defect, impact, clarity of the instruction, compliance with the rule, and whether a control detected it.
Use the result
Correct affected work, find whether the cause sits in training, source data, system design, workload, approval delay, or the written rule, then adjust review.
