Document and workflow checks
Turn the official change into reviewable actions
- Compare current and planned services with the official registration category descriptions.
- Record the registration period, renewal date, internal owner, and official source checked date.
- Maintain an evidence index for registration or renewal work without treating the index as an approval result.
- Assign owners for category changes, suspension responses, and market exit planning where relevant.
- Keep regulatory decisions, application answers, and audit conclusions outside CaresLink prompts.
