Separate launch blockers, material risks, hardening actions, and unresolved evidence gaps.
5
Plan remediation
Assign owners, controls, expected evidence, and retest criteria.
6
Retest when included

About this figure

This launch review engagement lifecycle moves from intake and system mapping through targeted validation, prioritized findings, remediation planning, and retest when included. The review produces evidence-based recommendations about critical exposure, but it does not transfer decision-making authority: the buyer owns launch timing and risk acceptance. If material system changes occur, the review must be updated so the findings and recommendations remain accurate and actionable.
