The situation

Before

Before the app, a certification took two weeks of preparation by finance, four rounds of email and a hand-assembled PDF.

What was built

The apps

The certification is a collaborative app: a hierarchy with the three levels, a screen per level on the same review pack (column-level lineage to the source tables, the 30-day quality trend, the rules in force, the previous certificate and the hash chain), and a rule that makes the third level external when the view is in scope. A policy change app runs beside it with an automated impact analysis as its second stage.

How it runs

Day to day

The quarterly rule opens the instance; each level signs on its screen; the certificate is issued with its hash. The policy change for a threshold ran a what-if as stage 2 and showed the commercial director the consequence before the decision.
