Walkthrough Narrative Flowchart Conventions Lookup
Check a walkthrough record for six caller-defined narrative conventions and report the missing elements without supplying engagement-specific facts.
Description
A process walkthrough narrative needs ownership, purpose, inputs, outputs, controls and exception handling.
A process walkthrough narrative needs ownership, purpose, inputs, outputs, controls and exception handling. Declared coverage is separate from testing the process.1
The returned values include Conventions complete, Conventions present, Conventions checked, Missing conventions. The How section below explains the calculation, input rules and interpretation.
When to use Walkthrough Narrative Flowchart Conventions Lookup
Use Walkthrough Narrative Flowchart Conventions Lookup when you need to evaluate the supplied records under the calculation and evidence rules below. The list is limited to the embedded selected facts. No document is parsed, authenticity checked or engagement-wide assurance or regulatory compliance established.
Prepare source-backed observations and the applicable engagement policy before entering facts. Use consistent monetary units and periods. Supply all boolean evidence flags explicitly, and treat a successful screen as a reason to continue professional review.
How to use Walkthrough Narrative Flowchart Conventions Lookup and understand its results
- Prepare source-backed observations and the applicable engagement policy before entering facts. Use consistent monetary units and periods. Supply all boolean evidence flags explicitly, and treat a successful screen as a reason to continue professional review.
- Enter controlActivities, exceptionHandling, inputs, outputs, processOwner, purpose using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read complete, completedCount, conventionCount, missingConventions. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| controlActivities | Control activities documented | boolean | Required |
| exceptionHandling | Exception handling documented | boolean | Required |
| inputs | Inputs documented | boolean | Required |
| outputs | Outputs documented | boolean | Required |
| processOwner | Process owner documented | boolean | Required |
| purpose | Process purpose documented | boolean | Required |
Enter each required boolean after reviewing the supporting record. Inspect these facts in this output order: process owner (processOwner); purpose (purpose); inputs (inputs); outputs (outputs); control activities (controlActivities); exception handling (exceptionHandling). Collect false items as missing labels, count the true items and return the fields below. Complete is true only when the missing list is empty.
complete=all entered completion facts are true Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| complete | Conventions complete | boolean |
| completedCount | Conventions present | integer; minimum: 0 |
| conventionCount | Conventions checked | integer; minimum: 6 |
| missingConventions | Missing conventions | list of string |

}Limitations and assumptions
The list is limited to the embedded selected facts. No document is parsed, authenticity checked or engagement-wide assurance or regulatory compliance established.
Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing fields without a declared default, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.

A missing step should remain visible before finalization. For a complementary task, use Engagement Letter Inclusion Elements Checklist: Engagement letters record agreed scope and responsibilities. Completeness requires an applicable list of expected elements.
