File indexing service in Kenya: Delivery Planning and Acceptance Checks
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Plan delivery around observable acceptance
Plan the handover and acceptance record for file indexing service, using the specific checkpoints for the example offer.
This is a planning reference for file indexing service. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional indexing IDX-68 catalogues 300 existing digital PDFs into a client-controlled index without changing document contents. Fields are document ID, exact filename, client-approved category, source folder, date if evidenced, access class and link. Sample: 'D0042 | supplier_terms_v 2.pdf | supplier terms | folderB | date unknown | restricted'. The service creates a retrieval aid, not a legal retention schedule or a guarantee that filenames describe contents accurately. Renaming/moving originals is excluded until a separate approved mapping exists.
This page is a work-control sheet. It does not teach a qualified trade, prescribe a food process, approve equipment or replace the appropriate technical procedure. Confirm who has the competence and authority for any specialist task.
Prepare the control record
| Stage to schedule | Checkpoint from the scoped example | Actual record to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory without mutation | Distinguish identical filenames in different folders; do not overwrite one with another. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Agree a category dictionary | Do not infer sensitive personal categories from casual file names. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Index with provenance | A PDF creation timestamp is not automatically the document's business date. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Test links and access | Fixing access must not make restricted folders public. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Run retrieval tasks | Index count reconciles to 300 and unresolved files remain listed, not silently discarded. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
Keep accepted and unresolved work separate
| Issue to watch for | Evidence question |
|---|---|
| Link points to wrong same-name file | Compare full source path and ID. |
| Document date guessed from file timestamp | Check actual evidence inside the authorised document. |
| Restricted document becomes public | Inspect link-sharing settings. |
The issues above are prompts to investigate, not a diagnosis of a real defect. Record what was observed, isolate the affected output where appropriate, and refer the technical decision to the competent person or approved process. Do not copy a hypothetical response into a real incident without assessment.
Reconcile the handover
Use the agreed charging basis: indexed file batch. Record ordered, completed, accepted, held and rejected output separately. Track rework time, changed scope, credits and collection dates against the same order reference. Index count reconciles to 300 and unresolved files remain listed, not silently discarded.
Proceed within a defined trial limit only after the buyer's acceptance, actual full costs and collections are recorded, and the guide's unresolved checks are addressed. The final business-specific checkpoint is: Index count reconciles to 300 and unresolved files remain listed, not silently discarded. Otherwise record a hold, revision or stop decision in file 10.
