Reviewed record
- Industry term
A reviewed record is a saved record whose claims have been checked for a specific use, with a note of what was checked, against which source, by whom, and when.
A review compares chosen claims with a chosen source, so it vouches for those claims and no others. Writing down what was compared shows the next reader where that coverage ends, and the record keeps whatever is still uncertain beside what passed.
Where you’ll meet it
AI meeting notes from a client call sit in your team's shared document, marked "Reviewed" by a teammate. You're about to email the client the launch date listed in them. The review note says your teammate checked attendees and action owners.
What to do
The date wasn't part of that review, so it's still unconfirmed. Find the moment in the recording, or the client's own email, where the date was set. Then add a line to the review note saying you checked the date, against what, and when.
Easy to mix up
| Reviewed record | Approval gate |
|---|---|
| No, anyone can still open and use the record | Yes, the action waits until someone approves it |

Go deeperEach kind of claim needs a check that can catch its errors
An approval click from someone who never opened the source tells you less than an exact comparison with a database. An AI grader can help with tone and clarity and still miss a wrong date in a contract. So the record names the method used for each claim, and a reader can judge how far to trust each one.
Some comparisons can run automatically, such as attendees against the calendar invite, while an unclear promise needs someone who was there. Systems that reuse records automatically can store a review state on each claim, so a low-risk fact that passed is reused without a person, and an uncertain or consequential one waits for its check.
