Quality & evidence
Technical quality within a licensed scope — Licensed Training Data
ANSWER IN BRIEF
Evaluate the usefulness of records while preserving the boundaries of the proposed permission.
Write separate review questions
Define what technical quality means for the task: context, completeness, consistency or another measurable attribute. Separately identify what the review is allowed to do with the sample. Combining those questions can make a successful technical result look like approval for a broader use that was never considered by the relevant parties.
Review only the agreed material
Use the dataset version, recipients and environment agreed for the sample exercise. Record the selection method and limitations. Check for missing context, duplicate records and inconsistent definitions without expanding into unrelated source systems. If additional fields would help interpretation, request a scoped revision rather than assuming the original approval covers them.
Describe remediation and its consequences
Some quality problems can be addressed with filtering, corrected exports or added annotations. Record who would perform that work and whether it changes the package being proposed. Added material may have its own source and handling questions. A preparation plan should identify those changes instead of treating the output as identical to the reviewed input.
Keep two acceptance records
Document the technical findings and the status of permission questions separately. State which issues must be resolved before a larger delivery or a different use. An accepted quality sample does not itself establish licensed scope. Preserve both records with the version so later teams can understand what was actually evaluated and approved.
Questions & answers
Can technical acceptance settle the license scope?
No. Keep the quality decision separate from permission and handling decisions. Record both against the sample or delivery version.
