How to Use This Tracker¶
- Before creating documentation: Check if required source materials are available
- When blocked: Note what external resources are needed
- After obtaining resources: Update status and proceed with documentation
- Regular review: Check this weekly to identify what can be unblocked
Priority Order for Obtaining Resources¶
- HIGH: E8 assessment questionnaires (for compliance automation)
- MEDIUM: Report templates (can create from scratch if needed)
- MEDIUM: Vendor questionnaire examples
- LOW: Board transcript examples (can simulate for MVP)
Completed:
- β Insurance form samples (127 questions extracted from 7 forms)
