- Date:
- Test asset:
- Processing stage:
- Inspection result:
- Changed setting:
- Remediation:

## Procedure
- [ ] Choose a non-sensitive test asset with a known inspection result.
- [ ] Run it through each processing stage and preserve intermediate outputs.
- [ ] Compare results to locate the first change in available provenance.
- [ ] Document the optimizer setting and evaluate an appropriate remediation with the pipeline owner.

## Result

- Evidence reference:
- Unknown or untested state:
- Next action and owner:
- Retest record:

## Boundary
