How to use the result

A blocking concern prompts an escalation. Open conditions prompt a conditional decision discussion. Unreviewed gates mean the review is incomplete. Even when all gates are marked clear, an authorized person still makes the actual bid decision.

This is a structured planning aid. It does not score compliance, establish eligibility, or predict an award.
