Second Brain / Industry term
Reviewed record
A record whose stated claims have passed the review required for its intended use, with the evidence, method, reviewer, and review time recorded.
A reviewed record has moved beyond raw capture or formatting because a defined check examined the claims that matter for its next use. A meeting summary might verify attendees against the calendar, action owners against the transcript, and dates against explicit commitments. Some checks can be deterministic; an ambiguous promise may need a participant or domain specialist. Store who or what ran the review, which source version it used, what passed, and what remains uncertain. The label then describes evidence rather than a vague feeling of trust.
Builder example
Downstream workflows should ask whether a record is reviewed for this purpose, not whether it received a universal approval. A transcript-derived task can be suitable for a private draft list while still lacking the authorization needed to send a deadline to a client. Review states, provenance, and expiry conditions let the system reuse low-risk facts automatically and route uncertain or consequential claims to the right check.
Common confusion: Processed means the record was transformed or filed. Reviewed means named properties were checked against evidence. A person clicking approve without the relevant source may supply less assurance than an exact database comparison; a model grader may be useful for style but inadequate for a legal fact.
