Pre-Commitment Freeze — Structural inspection applies an operational verification workflow to Structural inspection. The specific objective is to freeze an approved version of critical documents and data before signing or payment so the decision basis cannot change silently.

- Before sending money or changing a beneficiary or account.
- When a new version of a previously relied-on document arrives.
- When there is a new version or amendment arriving after approval.
- When the database and a primary document or official source disagree.
- Before final closing when the information can change over time.

Execution sequence

- Assign an owner and closure date to each open point.
- Turn unresolved material points into written pre-commitment conditions.
- Recheck changeable information at the actual decision moment.
- Retain the pass, conditional-pass or stop decision with its reason.
