These concepts are the shared vocabulary behind every recommendation, checklist, and pilot decision.

Assessment

A structured investigation of workflow behavior used to identify risk, define priorities, and establish evidence-based next actions.

A formal review process that verifies whether records, controls, and outcomes are complete, consistent, and defensible.

A continuous record of sample ownership, handling, and state transitions from collection through final disposition.

The practical alignment of process behavior, documentation, and controls with applicable obligations.

The degree to which data can be used with confidence for operational and scientific decisions.

The deliberate design of data and process connections so information flows reliably across systems and teams.

A controlled transition of data, process logic, or workflow ownership from one operating model to another.

A concise set of repeatable steps that turns hard-won lessons into consistent execution.

The practical ability to move data and workflows without unacceptable loss of fidelity, context, or control.

The metadata and event history that explain where information came from and how it changed over time.

The recognized limits of confidence in measurements, workflows, and interpretations.

The likelihood that external platform dependencies constrain flexibility, increase cost, or weaken operational control.
