Documentation Levels (I–V)
A structured, escalating system of rigor — not a menu
EDIS documentation is governed through defined levels, custody controls, and independent validation. Capture methods are execution-defined and disclosed in the project record.
Documentation Levels
Levels I–V define disclosure, rigor, and controls.
Levels define how documentation is governed and validated. They are not selectable capture options.
Level I
Visual Documentation Essentials
Entry level documentation focused on clear, verifiable visual records.
View Level I →Level II
Inspection Documentation
Inspection-ready documentation structured for review and reporting.
View Level II →Level III
Mapping & Spatial Records
Spatial records supporting reference outputs with declared accuracy class.
View Level III →Level IV
3D & Point-Cloud Documentation
Navigable spatial records and long-term reference models.
View Level IV →Level V
Compliance & Evidence-Grade Records
Custody-governed, audit-ready records where provenance is primary.
View Level V →Chain-of-Custody
Evidence continuity from authorization through archive.
Chain-of-Custody governs how documentation is authorized, handled, transferred, and archived. Continuity and provenance are defined as part of the project record.
EAS | Quality Control Management (QCM)
Independent validation authority — not optional QA.
EAS | QCM provides independent validation of adherence to defined documentation level requirements, custody controls, and deliverable integrity.
VIS Continuity
Long-term integrity, access control, and audit readiness.
VIS continuity governs long-term access control, integrity, and audit readiness for documentation records. Records are maintained with controlled permissions and continuity awareness.
