Runbook Step Check
Business & Documents
Checks ONE operational runbook (a numbered procedure for a deploy, a failover, a rotation or a recovery) step by step for the five things a person at three in the morning needs and writers forget - an owner, an expected duration, a visible signal that the step worked, a way back, and someone to escalate to - and lists only the steps that miss something, one line per step with fixed codes for what is missing, or exactly No findings. It accepts a success signal written in other words, an owner or an escalation contact stated once for the whole runbook, and a read-only step that needs no way back, and it never rewrites the runbook or adds steps. Use to review a runbook before an on-call rotation relies on it, after an incident that showed a step was unclear, or to gate a pull request that edits a procedure document.
