What is a review brief?

A review brief is a short, source-backed artifact for human reviewers. It organizes candidate work, source references, evidence-backed observations, thin-evidence notes, and follow-up questions.

What it contains

A useful brief includes the task context, submitted work, short source quotes or references, observations tied to those sources, and questions a reviewer may want to ask next.

What it is for

The brief helps reviewers prepare for discussion. It makes the review easier to inspect because each observation should point back to candidate work or provided source material.

What it is not

A review brief is not an automated decision. It should not make selection recommendations, infer protected traits, or turn one work sample into a broad claim about a candidate.
