Build quality into the work.
In the mold-investigation domain, on-site capture and chain-of-custody requirements lead into lab results, report drafting, named human verification, delivery, and acknowledgement. A status label alone does not make the work complete.
This supports a different quality cycle: inspect exceptions and missing evidence at the point of work, then perform the required final review. Measure the remaining call review, corrections, and rework against the earlier process.
Measure the quality cycle
A useful pilot compares total review minutes per accepted job, exception demand, corrections, and rework. Measure the gain while retaining required human review and service quality.
