Case records
Case work needs clear intake, assignment, review, records, and reporting.
Guide
Use this before you ask for a system.
The goal is simple: understand the work, the users, the data, the risks, and the first useful step before deciding what to build.
Service path
Start with the case journey.
Start with one service path: receive the request, assign it, review it, approve or reject it, update status, and keep the record.
Control
Keep responsibility visible.
Public-service systems need clear access, visible status, safe records, and enough history for the next staff member to understand the case.
Prototype
Test one service first.
A small first version can test the work process, forms, roles, and reports before a larger system is approved.
Checks
Questions to bring into the first meeting.
These are the practical questions that make a system conversation useful.
How does a case enter the system?
Who assigns, reviews, approves, rejects, or escalates it?
Which documents or evidence must stay attached?
What status should staff and leaders be able to see?
Which actions need activity logs and restricted access?
