Use the right records
Connect training, development and applied work to the individual. Do not treat governance rights as a substitute for technical evidence.
Documents the company created before the petition existed: training curricula and completion records, authored procedures with version histories, project reports naming the employee, and the record of how long anyone else took to reach the same competence. The material worth preserving is specific: qualification records for procedures developed in-house, revision histories that show who authored what and when, training material written internally, purchase and modification records for equipment adapted to a particular use, and job files linking the person to the work. Useful material includes authored or revised procedures, audit reports naming the applicant, investigation and corrective action records they owned, supplier approvals, training and authorisation registers, and a current delegation of authority. The useful material is older design documents, internal procedure manuals the applicant wrote or maintained, escalation records, training material, release notes, and system configuration histories, supported by colleagues who can describe what the applicant contributed.
