Inspector asksHow did you weigh the evidence, and what else did you consider?
The record answers
- Hold the batch pending more stability data. Rejected. Acceptance criteria were met and the open question is long-term, not release-critical.
- Release with no follow-up. Rejected. Long-term stability data is limited, so monitoring is a condition of release.
Inspector asksWhat didn't you know when you decided?
The record answers
- Risk weighed. Short-term data is within specification. Long-term behavior is not yet established. Residual risk accepted on condition of monitoring.
- Follow-up. Monitoring plan, owner, and review date are recorded with the decision.
Inspector asksWho authorized this, and when?
The record answers
- Decision owner. Dr. Sarah Chen, Head of Quality.
