Starting point
Facility walkthroughs changes were requested in passing: a message here, a corridor remark there. The exact wording to replace was rarely among the details.

Giving staff control of facility walkthroughs changes
What changed
Day to day with facility walkthroughs, what goes live is what was approved, verifiably. The process is short enough that people actually use it.

01Before
Where it started, and what was in the way
The problem
For facility walkthroughs, whoever published an update had to interpret the request, while whoever approved it could not easily compare old and proposed wording side by side.
02Build
What we built
The new request format is deliberately brief: page, old wording, new wording, approver. Nothing concerning maintenance coverage and site access requirements is published without clearing that review.

In the client's words
Approving a facility walkthroughs change means reading the old line and the new line, side by side. Nothing more complicated than that.
