Write one current workflow from trigger to closure, including event type, actor, timestamp, subject, before and after context where safe, outcome, correlation, source, retention, and access. Mark what is authoritative, who decides each state change, and which exception currently consumes the most attention before discussing software changes. For Audit history, apply that guidance to event identity, actor, tenant scope, action, affected record, time, before and after state, source, and retention, then record which event matters, who may inspect it, how integrity is protected, and what investigation or decision it supports in the acceptance evidence.

At minimum, define event type, actor, timestamp, subject, before and after context where safe, outcome, correlation, source, retention, and access.

For Audit logs, map each role to the minimum records and actions needed for assigned work. Separate request, change, approval, export, and administration where risk requires it, enforce decisions on the server, and review access after role or process changes. Within that boundary, sensitive actions produce protected evidence and reviewers know which events answer each operational or security question.
