The non-decision list
Five questions, run against a tool or an arrangement — not against a claimant, and not once per file.

The sentence for your own file note
Write it in your file, not here. The marked parts are yours to fill in.
[date]. [tool and version] was used to [what it did — for example, summarise the medical evidence on file]. It was not used to decide [the question at issue]. That determination was made by me, on the material in the file.
What it isA record of what a tool did, what it did not do, and who decided — legible a year later to a manager, a union, an adjudicator, or to you when the file is no longer fresh.
What it is notNot compliance, not a defence, and not a substitute for whatever your organisation requires. It records a decision; it does not justify one.
A design constraint, not a review stepThere is no score and no threshold. Any single yes is enough. That is what makes this a design constraint rather than a review step — a review step can be traded off against workload, and a constraint cannot.
What it is notThis page describes what published standards and decisions say and helps you ask a better question. It is not legal advice, and whether any instrument applies to your organisation is a question for counsel.
