Which missing fields most often delay a necessity listing from being ready for steward review?
A necessity-readiness checklist links each requested item to a purpose, budget source and owner review.
What we could measure together
Measure: Time from draft necessity to approved listing (hours/listing).
Freeze eligible work, observation window and acceptance criteria with the owner; retain incomplete work and exceptions.
Acceptance boundary: A completed checklist does not verify a steward, charity status or tax deductibility.
