An occasional examination of every instrument in daily use against the eight patterns of capture. Produces a field record for printing. The protocol is for the moment of reaching; the inventory is for stepping back.
Procedure
Enter up to twelve instruments in daily use: apps, services, devices.
For each, answer eight questions, one per pattern of capture. Answer from memory. "Not sure" is an admissible answer.
The field record is issued when the audit is closed. It can be printed on A5.
Answers are filed as they are given. The audit may be left and resumed. Records are held in this browser under pf:audit. None are transmitted. The day-to-day audit protocol is held separately.
