Two green cards. One red fact.

Launch approval does not establish data integrity.

Case, revision, exception, owner and stop condition.

Keep the red card until current evidence clears it.

Full written post / accessibility read

Picture two agents passing a green migration approved card. Offscreen, cohort seven still has an unresolved reconciliation hold. The agents are not lying. The workflow never put the red condition in their path.

In this synthetic case, cutover before reconciliation creates an operational problem the plan never described. A polished summary makes the missing condition harder to notice.

When the cutover tool becomes available, a data steward sends five fields. The host fetches the protected record, checks cohort and revision, then passes a hold to the service. No giant transcript is needed.

Do that because context delivered yesterday can be ignored today. Trigger at the cutover boundary, verify the source again, and require a current reconciliation receipt before state changes.

Four-beat scene transcript

1. Two green cards. One red fact.

Picture two agents passing a green migration approved card. Offscreen, cohort seven still has an unresolved reconciliation hold. The agents are not lying. The workflow never put the red condition in their path.

Visual: Approval travels; the exception stays in another system.

2. The omission changes the release.

In this synthetic case, cutover before reconciliation creates an operational problem the plan never described. A polished summary makes the missing condition harder to notice.

Visual: Launch approval does not establish data integrity.

3. Inject a narrow steward packet.

When the cutover tool becomes available, a data steward sends five fields. The host fetches the protected record, checks cohort and revision, then passes a hold to the service. No giant transcript is needed.

Visual: Case, revision, exception, owner and stop condition.

4. Surface it at the action.

Do that because context delivered yesterday can be ignored today. Trigger at the cutover boundary, verify the source again, and require a current reconciliation receipt before state changes.

Visual: Keep the red card until current evidence clears it.
