Responsibility Evidence Map

Mark whether each project responsibility is open, has an owner, or has both an owner and named evidence. The score measures mapping completeness only; it does not judge compliance or replace an agreement.

Map the project handoffs

Target-market role Who holds the applicable market-entry, notification, registration, or distribution role? Formula rights Who owns background work, new development, use rights, and transfer rights? Raw-material specification Who approves sources, specifications, substitutions, and supporting records? Packaging and compatibility Who owns the package specification, samples, interaction review, and final approval? Batch review and release Who sets acceptance criteria, reviews deviations, and releases the final product? Claims evidence Who approves claim wording and holds the evidence matched to each claim? Change control Who evaluates and approves formula, package, process, supplier, or document changes? Record access and retention Which party keeps the required records and how can the brand access them?
