Review
What is it?
The check that a Candidate Assertion is supported, scoped, and understandable.
Review is the careful reading step before an organization authorizes an Assertion.
A reviewer checks whether the Candidate Assertion says what the source supports and whether its limits are clear.
Organizational Reality
Several experts discuss a proposed change. Everyone agrees in the meeting and the chat thread looks settled.
Nobody formally reviews the proposed understanding against the source. Later, people remember the agreement differently because the review never became a clear organizational step.
Why it happens
This commonly happens because agreement feels like review. But informal consensus does not preserve what was checked, which source supported it, or where the limits are.
