Feedback Taxonomy
Question, Observation, or Required Change?

Verified Method
Categorizing review feedback to streamline the resolution process.
The Three Feedback Categories in Detail
During drawing coordination, unclassified comments cause confusion. When reviewers write notes without indicating required actions, engineers spend unnecessary time guessing the markup intent. Separating questions from firm instructions prevents delays and eliminates costly rework.
Every review entry belongs to one of three distinct categories:
- Questions: Requests for missing information or design intent clarification without demanding direct drawing edits.
- Observations: Contextual notes, field advisories, or reference reminders that require acknowledgement without mandatory drafting modifications.
- Required Changes: Explicit design revisions or code compliance corrections that mandate updated sheet geometry, revised callouts, and republishing.
Structured Feedback Breakdown:
- Questions demand timely responses with engineering logic or standard references.
- Observations require formal acknowledgement by the discipline lead.
- Required changes demand visual evidence and republished drawing revisions.
