WF-04 — Revision control + evidence trail. 1 human step, 6 automated steps, about 6 hours a month reclaimed.
- Step 1. File lands in project folder (DRIVE). Listens on the issued-drawings folder
- Step 2. Parse drawing number + revision. Reads the title block, not the filename
- Step 3. Match against drawing register (REGISTER). Finds the superseded sheet
- Step 4. Supersede + archive Rev B. Moves, does not delete
- Step 5. Stamp issue sheet + audit line. Who, what, when, to whom
- Step 6. Notify the distribution list (WHATSAPP). Contractor, structural, PMC, client
- Step 7. Evidence trail entry. Immutable, dated, attributable
Risk points in this workflow:
- Unrecognised sheet. No register entry. Held, not guessed at — an unrecorded revision can supersede an approved one.
Steps you still do:
- Confirm the sheet
