Quality Review Gate Checklist.

Place quality checks into the process at the stages where defects are catchable, so quality is verified during delivery rather than discovered by the client.

Part A: Locate the gate points

Find the stages where an output is produced and a defect would be both likely and cheap to catch. Place gates where they matter, not at every step.

Stage / output produced	Why a gate belongs here

Part B: Define each gate

The fail path matters most: name where a failed output goes and who reworks it, or the gate is just observation.

Gate (stage)	Output checked	Criteria (from the standard)	Reviewer	On pass / On fail
				Pass: ___ / Fail: ___
				Pass: ___ / Fail: ___
				Pass: ___ / Fail: ___

Part C: Hold the discipline

No output passes to the next stage or to the client without clearing its gate. Every gate outcome, pass or fail, is recorded. Each fail is fed into the Rework and Defect Log so patterns surface.

The signal you want over time is a rising share of defects caught at internal gates rather than by the client. Save or print my copy
