THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
State exactly which details are accepted and which conditions must still be met. Identify how each condition will be verified. Avoid wording that can be read as full production release while important changes remain unresolved.
The decision behind the detail.
Some corrections may require another physical sample; others may be resolved through a defined document review. Choose the evidence for each condition explicitly.

Three details to bring.
- Accepted details
- List the parts of the sample approved as shown.
- Conditions
- Describe every outstanding change.
- Closure evidence
- State how each condition will be confirmed.
Check together
- Keep conditional and final approval statuses distinct.
- Assign responsibility for closing each point.
- Record the final release only after required conditions are met.
