Verified corrective-action closure: what it takes to mark something done
Nothing reaches Verified Closed through a status dropdown. An item walks the whole path — identified, owned, corrected, evidenced, reviewed by a different authorized person — and any step can send it back. This page explains exactly what the platform requires at each step and what the final record contains.
Five steps. None of them optional.
The item is created with its source — regulation, inspection finding, contract, insurer condition, brand standard or property policy — and the property or asset it concerns.
An accountable owner and a due date. The path is chosen: internal team, third-party vendor, or administrative.
The work is done and the proof attached: photos, readings, vendor report, invoice, certificate. The item cannot be submitted without evidence.
A different authorized person reviews the submission. They can verify it or send it back with a reason. The person who did the work can never approve their own closure.
Locked, timestamped and attributed. The evidence, the reviewer and the full history stay with the record. Exportable on request.
- The obligation and its source citation
- The asset or location it concerns, with the asset's history
- Who was assigned, when, and the due date
- Every piece of evidence, with who uploaded it and when
- Who verified the closure, when, and any send-backs with their reasons
- Comments and workflow history, retained and unedited
- Missing or insufficient evidence at review
- A vendor deliverable that does not address the finding
- A reviewer's rejection, recorded with a reason
- A reset by an authorized role, logged in the history
- Nothing is deleted on a send-back — the history shows the attempt
Verified Closed is a statement about the record: the required evidence and review steps are complete for this obligation. It is not an inspection of the physical condition and not a certification of compliance. The property's own authorized people perform and verify the work; Mason Mathews governs and retains the record.

Common questions
What evidence is required to close an item?
At minimum, evidence attached to the item — photos, readings, a vendor report, an invoice or a certificate, depending on the obligation. Without evidence the item cannot be submitted for review.
Who can verify a closure?
A different authorized person than the one who performed or submitted the work. Verification roles are governed by the organization's configuration; the separation is enforced, not optional.
Can a verified closure be edited later?
The record is locked at verification. Subsequent activity — a new finding on the same asset, a reset by an authorized role — creates new history rather than altering the sealed record.
Is Verified Closed the same as being compliant?
No. It means the evidence and review steps are complete for that obligation. Compliance determinations remain with the property, its engineer, its counsel and the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
