A Sampling Method for Reviewing Delegated Work Queues
This note explains how to select a repeatable mixed sample without treating a small review as proof about every task.
Headline signal: Three-part scoped observation (NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0).
Question: how can a manager inspect delegated work without reviewing the entire queue?
Method: select items across the period, including ordinary work, exceptions, and one item chosen independently of the assistant. Record the rule before scoring.
Interpretation: the sample describes only reviewed items. Repeated errors justify a wider check; a clean small sample does not establish that every item was correct.
