Commitments

A commitment is a privacy promise — a measure, condition, undertaking, or control your organization agrees to as part of an assessment. Commitments start life as advisory recommendations and are tracked to completion so nothing is forgotten. The commitment panel shows the definition and an action-driven status, and each commitment carries its own Discussion thread.

The Commitment Definition

The panel shows the definition — title, description, type (measure, condition, undertaking, or control), owner, cadence, and evidence notes — with a coordinator-only pencil to edit.

(screenshot placeholder — capture: the commitment panel with the definition block, the header status action buttons, and the recurring check-in history table with the Record check-in form)

Status Is Action-Driven

Status is driven by header actions rather than a free dropdown:

• Proposed → Mark accepted. Delete is offered only at this advisory stage.
• Accepted → Mark done or Retire.
• Done and Retired are terminal.

One-Time and Recurring Commitments

Every commitment has a cadence type:

• A One-time commitment carries a due date and flags as overdue when past due.
• A Recurring commitment carries a recurring cadence — monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, or ad-hoc — and shows a check-in history table plus an inline Record check-in form.

Recording a Check-In

For a recurring commitment:

1. Pick an outcome — Met / Partially met / At risk / Not met.
2. Set the check-in date and add a note.
3. Record it.

The card then shows the last outcome and the next check-in date. A layered Discussion thread anchors to each commitment for context and follow-up.
