JRS Review Conditions Reference

JRS Review Conditions

The five conditions a record must satisfy before it enters an official system. Each asks whether a later reviewer, working from the file alone, with no access to the author and no institutional memory, can stand behind the record. JRS is in operational validation and makes no claim of validated effectiveness.

The Five Conditions

01
Reconstructability
The conclusion can be reconstructed from the file alone, by a later reviewer with no access to the author and no institutional memory.
02
Basis Identification
The basis for each conclusion is identifiable within the record.
03
Chronology
The sequence of events can be followed from the record.
04
Decision-Process Traceability
The decision process that led to the conclusion can be traced.
05
Evidentiary Sufficiency
The evidence in the record is sufficient to support the conclusion.
