Privilege-log draft coordination

Use a legal reviewer designating documents for log preparation to create a versioned log draft with source-linked review decisions. The design keeps source references, uncertain matches, and approval decisions visible to the responsible legal professional. It coordinates an administrative handoff with version checks and an exception queue. A model or workflow must not decide privilege or waive protected information.

1. Define the starting point

Start with a legal reviewer designating documents for log preparation. A successful handoff produces a versioned log draft with source-linked review decisions. Define the accountable owner before connecting systems. A model or workflow must not decide privilege or waive protected information. A source event is a request to evaluate the current state; it is not permission to make an irreversible change.

2. Walk through the process

1. Load authorized designations

Use lawyer-approved document IDs and permitted metadata fields only.

We have defined the owner, required information, and completion check for this step.Step 1 working notes

2. Prepare bounded log rows

Populate dates, authors, recipients, and document references from approved sources.

3. Flag missing information

Leave unknown fields unresolved and identify inconsistent source metadata.

4. Review descriptions

A lawyer checks required format, sufficiency, confidentiality, and the underlying designations.

5. Freeze the approved log

Bind final rows to document versions and keep any later revisions separately reviewable.

3. Check the information

Use invented references in this worksheet. Keep real documents and personal records in an appropriate private system.

Reference field	Working record	Check
document_id	document_id	Resolve the stable source reference in the correct client, entity, and engagement.
designation_ref	designation_ref	Resolve the stable source reference in the correct client, entity, and engagement.
log_row_version	log_row_version	Bind approval to this exact source version; changes require review.
legal_approval	legal_approval	Use the authorized owner or reviewed decision; unknown values stop the handoff.

Source of truth and access boundaries

4. Verify the process

Use synthetic examples. Mark a check only after recording what actually happened.

An unknown author is not invented.A changed designation reopens the log row.A repeated source event creates only one current review task.A changed source version invalidates an earlier approval.A named person can resolve an unclear or incorrect result.Work stops when the task is complete, withdrawn, or outside the agreed scope.A duplicate or interrupted handoff can be recovered without repeating a consequential action.Expected result, observed result, and recovery notes
