Step by step

  1. Mark each layer favorable, pending, adverse, or unknown and name its owner.
  2. Ask the case manager to reconcile every requested service with the current plan and authorization.
  3. Do not mark service complete until operational readiness, schedule, and actual start are confirmed.

Expected next

A reconciled status, named dependency, planning event, authorization, operational step, or start.

Save this proof

If this stalls or the answer is no
