Offshore article rework taxonomy
A practical classification for turning recurring article corrections into better briefs, reviews, and team routines.
Key stats
- Rework is actionable when its cause is recorded rather than treated as a generic failure.
- The four useful classes are scope, evidence, structure, and presentation.
- Trend counts should inform process changes, not blame individuals.
Key takeaways
- Fix upstream ambiguity before increasing downstream review.
- Preserve examples of recurring defects in the playbook.
- Close each material correction with a named prevention action.
Rework taxonomy
| Class | Typical defect | Prevention |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Wrong audience or intent | Brief acceptance |
| Evidence | Unsupported claim | Claim register |
| Structure | Missing required section | Article outline |
| Presentation | Link or table issue | Final QA |
Compare this taxonomy with the QA severity matrix and publication readiness scorecard.
