Validating with Stakeholders

Confirm the current state, resolve contradictions and label what remains uncertain.

Validate the process sequence, important variants, handoffs, bottlenecks, exception frequency, likely root causes and baseline assumptions.

Do not ask only “does this look right?” Ask what is wrong or incomplete, where experiences differ, whether a path is common or exceptional and why the step exists.

Record material items as validated, amended, unresolved or requiring more evidence. Validation requires defensible evidence, not unanimous agreement.
