## Guided walkthrough

The screenshot above is from the live Rodyne product. Use it to orient yourself, but rely on the current record state and live provider checks when operating the workspace.

## Operating procedure

<Steps>
  <Step title="Locate the noun">
    Identify whether the term describes a tenant, identity, configuration, record, or provider outcome.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find its owner">
    Determine which workspace or network controls it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Separate policy from state">
    A mapping or approval describes intent; provider read-back describes reality.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow references">
    Use the linked guide for procedures and the reference page for exact behavior.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use precise language">
    Record uncertain, partial, and completed outcomes distinctly in staff notes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Acceptance checks

| Check     | Ready when                                         | If it is not ready       |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Workspace | Tenant boundary is explicit                        | Name the community       |
| Identity  | Provider IDs and ownership proof are distinguished | Resolve the link state   |
| Outcome   | Desired and confirmed state are not conflated      | Check provider read-back |

## Failure recovery

When two staff members use a term differently, link the record and its glossary definition. Precision matters most for identity, restricted data, approvals, and provider outcomes.
