1. Define interpretation and conservation needs
Define interpretation and conservation needs is a real operational responsibility, not a decorative item on a checklist.

For the fictional project involving a paper exhibition whose spotlights create glare and excessive exposure, the team records the initial condition, who reviewed it, what alternatives were considered, what was done and whether the outcome met the agreed criteria. If a relevant right, safety issue or technical result is unresolved, the item remains open. A client should be able to understand the difference between a task attempted and a task properly completed.
To test the decision, ask whether another competent person could reconstruct it from the records. Identify any exceptions, assign an owner to each correction and state when rechecking is needed. This creates continuity when a contractor leaves, a system changes or the client later needs to explain why a decision was made.

Worked example: count accepted outcomes
A fictional project records 30 deliverables: 24 have verified acceptance, four await review and two have unresolved defects. The verified completion proportion is 24 ÷ 30 = 80%, not 100%. The percentage is illustrative, not an official threshold; a single serious safety, privacy or rights issue can prevent acceptance regardless of the total.
