When source policy checks belong in the release checklist

A public-source workflow has two independent questions: can the system retrieve the material, and should the team use it in the intended way? Treating those as the same question creates avoidable uncertainty.

A useful preflight records the target source, retrieval conditions, declared policies, and the human owner of any exception. It should not claim that a single automated check grants permission or replaces legal review. It can, however, make source-policy evidence visible before a dataset, integration, or monitoring release moves forward.

For teams assembling that sort of release checklist, these separate products cover distinct parts of the job:

The goal is a reviewable handoff: what was checked, what evidence was produced, what remains uncertain, and who decides the next step.
