Adjudication that’s defensible

How to reduce inconsistency with clear rules, timeboxes, and documentation built into the flow.

Adjudication Workflow clarity Audit posture

Key takeaways

  • Write rules like you’ll be audited.
    If a human can’t apply it consistently, it’s not a rule—it's a vibe.
  • Separate signal from noise.
    Use role risk, recency, and relevance to avoid over-indexing on low-value hits.
  • Timebox the process.
    Clear stages prevent “stuck” cases and improve candidate experience.
  • Document outcomes, not just actions.
    The question later will be “why,” not “what.”
