CASE STATUS

Case Status

Plain language status labels for scope, commitment, reveal, evidence, proof references, and decision states.

Case status summary

Status readback separates review progress from case outcome authority.

Lifecycle: Public status labels keep the review order visible without creating a final result.

Hunter comparison: Commitment, reveal, and flagged paths stay as status labels. They do not create a winner, rejection, or no-award.

Field boundary: Public fields stay readable while raw report detail and private material stay off the page.

Decision: Case decision remains pending until a recorded result exists.

Preliminary review: Challenge review can come next without settlement or external action.

Challenge window: Challenge review remains separate from the final case result.

Challenge disposition: Disposition status remains separate from award and payout.

Final status: Final review status does not itself create award, no-award, or payout.

Closeout: Review closeout does not publish or move funds.
