Evidence Tracker · Example edition
See which claim still needs support.
This fictional evidence register supports a handover improvement proposal. The entries are sample research tasks, not proof that the claims are true.
| Claim | Evidence needed | State | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Owners struggle to identify current files | Observed lookup tasks | In progress | Maya |
| An index improves orientation | Comparison exercise | Not yet tested | Leo |
| The index stays current | Follow-up maintenance check | Not yet tested | Sam |
| Setup effort is manageable | Timed preparation record | Draft record | Robin |
Keep the claim narrow
“An index helps this team find approved files” is easier to evaluate than “indexes improve productivity.” Match the evidence to the actual scope of the claim.
Assess the source
Record where the evidence came from, when it was collected, and what could make it misleading. A persuasive quotation does not replace a relevant method or representative sample.
Use the gaps
The untested maintenance claim is important because the proposed change creates ongoing work. Prioritize that check before presenting the index as a durable solution.
