1. Preregister the question and population

Preregister the question and population for “Can HR Access Removal Be Independently Verified?” using a versioned protocol that names inclusion rules, exclusions, systems, timestamps, reviewer roles, and unavailable evidence. The hr-access-removal-verification-study study retains first-pass classifications before consensus and reports the denominator, missing records, disagreement, correction, reversal, reopening, and unresolved state for stage 1. Protected narratives remain in approved systems while the analysis uses stable references. This design can describe observed operating evidence; it cannot establish legal compliance, causation, provider quality, a universal benchmark, or a promised outcome. The accountable employer owner decides whether findings justify a workflow change, and every remediation receives an evidence link, owner, due date, implementation event, verification step, and stated residual limitation.
