Workflow example

Illustrative Data

Fictional programme NSDP-2026 (R180m) is allocated across implementers; every payment links to the milestone evidence that supports it.

Outcomes

  • Traceable funding
  • Earlier risk detection
  • Outcome-linked payments
Control model

Records become accountable work

Design intentions, not independently verified operational controls.

Ownership & permissions
Assigned Funders, SETAs, Implementers, Finance teams work only within authorised tenant, programme and record scopes.
Rules & approvals
Required evidence, policy versions, delegated authority and independent review gate consequential changes. Missing evidence returns to the owner.
Audit & reporting
Record who changed what, when and why. Measure evidence completeness, queue age, approval turnaround and unresolved exceptions rather than invent performance results.
The golden thread
