Typical configuration
- Guard: state cannot advance to Closed until effectiveness-check result is recorded ≥ 90 days after the last corrective action.
- Capability: Five-Whys + fishbone canvas — collaborative edit, exports a PNG snapshot into the record.
- Permissions: Quality team owns; Owners of linked records (audit, complaint) get read-only; Operators see their containment tasks.
- Effect: Major NCR triggers a Management-review agenda item for the next clause-9.3 review.
