Method Note: Detecting Drift in Recurring Delegated Tasks

Question: what observable evidence would answer the narrow question posed by method note: detecting drift in recurring delegated tasks?

Method: choose a defined work queue and period, preserve native source references, use written field definitions, and record both complete and exceptional cases.

Limitation: the selected sample cannot establish individual performance or a general result outside that queue and period. Missing and unrecognized records may affect the finding.

Decision use: test one documented change, repeat the same observation, and let the accountable owner decide whether the evidence supports a wider rollout.

Key stats and source notes

Methods note: a bounded review using a stated question, observation method, evidence scope, and decision use. It does not make a performance claim.
