Field notes
The proposed record would align observed events with the operative note and checklist entries, including sign-in, time-out, and sign-out. The page says the charter would define who can open a record, for what purpose, and for how long, with access itself recorded. Its account of the project’s origin points to five short videos of a bypass operation, where checking and verification became the focus. The page presents these as a design and governance plan, not demonstrated product behavior.
