Qualifying a source in four steps

The four steps are requirements, evidence, decision and record, and a scheduled re-check.

This lesson’s method: write the requirements, collect evidence for each, decide and record why, and re-check on a schedule.

Use the seven federal headings as prompts for the evidence. The pass bar is the buyer’s own, so write down what it was.
