Use the same agenda each quarter:
- Compare actual results with promised ranges.
- Retire completed work.
- Review re-entry conditions for deferred opportunities.
- Reconsider sourcing and defensibility where the market changed.
- Review approved use, human signatures, and metric integrity.
- Ask: What should stop?
The final question is the proof that governance is real.
