No report leaves without a second look
A wrong result that reaches the client does not come back on its own: it turns into rework, a retraction and a strained relationship. Two-level review is the barrier that holds it. The analyst logs, the reviewer checks, and no report leaves without that sign-off.
Every result has an owner who reviews it before the report.
The analyst logs the result as Analyzed. The reviewer checks and approves, or sends it back to the analyst to redo. Without the reviewer's approval, no report goes out.
Reviewed the last parameter? The sample turns Ready on its own.
When the reviewer approves the sample's last parameter, it moves automatically to Ready. Nobody has to click anything else, the system advances on its own.
You see from across the room what is awaiting, reviewed or sent back.
The screen uses color (red = awaiting, green = reviewed, yellow = sent back) so you read the status at a glance. Filter by Work Order, sample, batch, parameter, client or priority as you need.
Sent back comes with a reason, not guesswork.
When the reviewer sends a result back, the analyst knows what to revisit. No redoing in the dark trying to figure out what did not pass.
Filter the review queue the way the day demands.
By Work Order, sample, batch, parameter, client or priority. The reviewer tackles the urgent first instead of scrolling a huge unordered list.
The handoff is recorded.
Who analyzed, who reviewed, when it was approved: every step is logged. Technical responsibility is not an I think it was someone.
Why the barrier is double, not just a stamp
Real review separates who did the work from who approves it. That is what turns the second pair of eyes into actual control.
Whoever analyzes does not self-approve.
The analyst logs it as Analyzed. Releasing it to the report belongs to someone else, the reviewer.
Sending back is part of the flow.
The reviewer can ask for a redo. It is not all or nothing: the weak result goes back to the bench before it becomes a report.
Only the last OK advances the sample.
The sample becomes Ready on its own when the last parameter is approved. Nothing slips half-reviewed into the report.
Frequently asked questions
Can I release a report skipping review?
No. Without the reviewer's approval, the sample does not reach Ready and the report does not go out. The barrier is part of the flow, not a step you can skip.
Can the reviewer send a result back?
They can. They approve or send it back to the analyst to redo. The sample only advances when the reviewer signs off on the last parameter.
How do I see quickly what is pending review?
By color: red awaiting, green reviewed, yellow sent back. You can also filter by Work Order, sample, batch, parameter, client or priority.
Is who analyzed and who reviewed recorded?
It is. Every step stores the person responsible and the date. The technical responsibility for each result is traceable.
