Questions this course answers
What makes reauthorization different from a rubber stamp?
Reauthorization uses current scope, evidence, conditions, authority, and expiry.
Put the core reauthorization steps in order.
A decision should be bounded and tested before it is approved, then monitored after approval.
Match each claim to a useful test.

Without identifiers, a continuity workaround can preserve activity while losing the record needed to prove completeness and correct errors.
What belongs in a bounded vendor reauthorization?
