How an LRA guide is built

Every answer follows the same discipline.

You should be able to stop reading after the first paragraph and still have what you came for. Everything below it exists so you can defend the answer to a reviewer.

1. 01
   Answer

   The question is stated as a reporting team would ask it, and settled in the opening lines.

2. 02
   Basis

   The official source and edition are named, and kept clearly apart from our reading of them.

3. 03
   Judgement

   The points the standard leaves open are marked, with what a defensible position looks like.

4. 04
   Action

   The answer links to the disclosures and evidence it affects, so a decision turns into fields to fill.

• Practitioner-written, then technically reviewed
• A named reviewer, with a date
• Requirements kept separate from practice and interpretation
• Stated update triggers for re-reading each answer

Coverage

Which frameworks have answers yet.

The guides tier is written framework by framework rather than thinly across all of them, so this says where the writing has actually reached. Disclosure cards, which cover the requirements themselves, run ahead of it.
