A workflow for people. No automatic verdict.

Receiving a report records a concern. It does not establish that an allegation is true, begin an investigation or contact a third party.

Internal review stages

A reviewer chooses the status and may append a private note. These labels are not public decisions or promises of action.

New

A record was received. No claim that someone has read it.

Reviewing

An authorized reviewer marked it for review.

Needs information

More context may be needed. Changing this status sends no message.

Closed

The reviewer closed the internal record. This is not a finding or proof of resolution.

Who can review?

Access requires a signed-in account with the separate private-intake review permission. Ordinary content editors do not receive that permission by default. Administrator accounts have access. Review notes record the reviewer account, time and status. The operator is responsible for who receives access and how any response is handled outside this workflow. There is no response-time commitment, automated escalation or email delivery.
