Access Review Worksheet
Use this worksheet to compare two ways of completing the same task. Record who needs access, what each option costs, and what still needs to be tested. Complete one copy for each review and keep it with the evidence you use.
01 People and task
02 Access barriers
Record a practical limit and the next action for each dimension. Do not treat an unknown as a pass.
| Dimension | Limit or unanswered question | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Money | ||
| Data | ||
| Device | ||
| Language | ||
| Availability |
Inputs and evidence
Use one currency and one monthly period. Record the source and date of each input. Leave unknown values marked unknown; use scenarios to test their effect.
03 Scenario inputs
| Input | Symbol and unit | Option A | Option B |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget | B / currency per month | ||
| Tasks | N / tasks per month | ||
| Pay per task | P / currency per task | 0 for this model | |
| Subscription | S / currency per month | 0 for this model | |
| Data per task | M / MB per task | ||
| Data price | D / currency per GB | ||
| Device allocation | F / currency per month | ||
| Included tasks | Subscription quota | Not applicable | |
| Other known costs | Name and monthly amount |
Use decimal units: 1 GB = 1000 MB. A device allocation is a monthly share you choose, not a claim that an existing device is free. Add taxes, retries, overages, setup, and human review separately when relevant.
04 Assumptions and evidence register
| Input or claim | Evidence or assumption | Source and date | How to check |
|---|---|---|---|
Costs and usefulness
05 Calculate the monthly scenario
Data cost = N x M / 1000 x D
Option A cost = N x P + data cost + F
Option B cost = S + data cost + F
Budget remaining = B - option cost
These formulas cover one pay-per-task option and one subscription without overages. Calculate each option with its own inputs if they differ. Add any other known monthly costs to the relevant total. A negative remainder means the scenario exceeds the budget.
| Calculated result | Option A | Option B |
|---|---|---|
| Data cost | ||
| Total monthly cost | ||
| Budget remaining | ||
| Within budget |
06 Check usefulness before choosing
Set review criteria before a trial. Cost alone cannot establish quality, accessibility, latency, or safety.
| Criterion | Proposed pass condition | Observed result |
|---|---|---|
| Useful output | ||
| Time and effort | ||
| Access and recovery | ||
| Data handling |
Decision and next review
07 Risks and uncertainty
| Risk or unknown | Why it matters | Next check and owner |
|---|---|---|
08 Make a bounded decision
09 Keep the comparison repeatable
| Review date | Changed input or evidence | Result and next decision |
|---|---|---|
