Revenue Leak Closure Checklist

Define the evidence required before a Revenue Leak may be classified as repaired. It is the final gate of the loop: it converts a re-measured result into an accountable closure decision.

Purpose

Define the evidence required before a Revenue Leak may be classified as repaired. It is the final gate of the loop: it converts a re-measured result into an accountable closure decision.

Governing Principle

A leak is NOT closed merely because a script was written, an automation was created, a workflow was turned on, a dashboard was built, a team was trained, or a meeting occurred. Closure requires evidence. Do not force CLOSED when evidence is insufficient.

Not Closed Just Because

a script was written
an automation was created
a workflow was turned on
a dashboard was built
a team was trained
a meeting occurred

Evidence Gates

DIAGNOSIS

Id: diagnosis
Requirements: leak clearly defined; affected link identified; evidence documented; baseline recorded

ECONOMICS

Id: economics
Requirements: impact estimated where possible; priority justified (RLR-06)

IMPLEMENTATION

Id: implementation
Requirements: repair implemented (RLR-40); owner assigned; fallback defined; workflow documented

Id: qa
Requirements: required test scenarios passed (RLR-41); defects resolved or accepted; data capture verified; attribution verified where relevant (RLR-33/RLR-34)

VERIFICATION

Id: verification
Requirements: post-repair period reviewed (RLR-42); same KPI definition used (RLR-35); outcome measured (RLR-43); confidence assessed; unintended consequences reviewed

Closure Decision States

CLOSED - VERIFIED

Id: closed_verified
Meaning: All gates passed; re-measured, above-noise, baseline-referenced improvement held across the window.

IMPROVED - CONTINUE MONITORING

Id: improved_continue_monitoring
Meaning: Improvement observed and credible but being watched for durability; RLR-39 moves to MONITORING.

PARTIALLY REPAIRED

Id: partially_repaired
Meaning: Some improvement, but the target or the full leak is not yet met; return to Prioritize for the remainder.

NOT IMPROVED

Id: not_improved
Meaning: No credible improvement; return to Prioritize / consider rollback (RLR-40).

INSUFFICIENT DATA

Id: insufficient_data
Meaning: Evidence too weak to judge; keep VALIDATING/VERIFYING with a measurement plan. Never forced to CLOSED.

REOPENED

Id: reopened
Meaning: A previously closed/monitored leak regressed; re-enters the loop via RLR-06.

BLOCKED

Id: blocked
Meaning: Closure cannot proceed due to a dependency/access/data constraint; recorded explicitly.

Force Closure Prohibition

Rule: CLOSED - VERIFIED requires every gate satisfied AND a held, above-noise, baseline-referenced re-measurement. Insufficient or ambiguous evidence resolves to INSUFFICIENT DATA or PARTIALLY REPAIRED — never a forced CLOSED.

Quality Standard

What To Measure: Whether every evidence gate (Diagnosis, Economics, Implementation, QA, Verification) is satisfied for the specific leak.
Data Required: The RLR-39 entry, the RLR-41 QA result, the RLR-42 re-measurement, the RLR-43 comparison, and any RLR-44 economic record.
How To Interpret: A single unsatisfied gate blocks CLOSED - VERIFIED. Map the evidence to exactly one closure decision state.
Action That Follows: Set the RLR-39 status to match the closure decision; only CLOSED entries may carry recovered revenue on RLR-44.
Owner: The repair owner named on RLR-39.
How To Implement: Walk the five gates in order for the leak; record pass/fail and evidence for each requirement before choosing a decision state.
How To Test: Confirm each cited artifact (QA result, re-measurement, scorecard) exists and supports the claimed gate before closing.
When To Remeasure: Closure follows the RLR-42 window; MONITORING entries are re-checked on a longer horizon and can be reopened.
How To Know It Improved: The leak reaches CLOSED - VERIFIED only when all gates pass and the improvement held — the definition of a truly closed leak.

Compliance Guardrail

Closure review reads only data permitted under the business's privacy, retention, and consent policy and does not require re-contacting suppressed or opted-out records; jurisdiction- and industry-specific rules are applied by the operator.

Integrates

Entry On: RLR-39
Qa From: RLR-41
Remeasure From: RLR-42
Compare From: RLR-43
Recovery To: RLR-44
Definitions From: RLR-35

How to implement

Re-measure over a comparable window and compare to baseline.

How to verify

Only mark a leak closed when the metric moved and held across the window.
