Fact layer documentation
The guide to your fact layer
A written guide to your fact layer: how it is organised, who owns each area, and how facts are checked, changed and approved. The people who use and maintain the facts have one place to look, and a new starter has what they need to pick it up.
What's in it
- How your fact layer is organised, and where each kind of fact lives
- The named owner for each area
- The routines for checking and updating facts
- How a change to a fact is proposed and approved
- How to find and use the facts in everyday work
How it's made
It comes out of fact layer training. As we train your team and agree owners and routines with them, we write each one down, using your own facts as the examples. Your owners review it before we hand over, so it describes how your team works.
How you use it
Owners follow it to keep their area current. New starters read it to learn where the facts are and how to use them. When a routine or an owner changes, you update the guide, so it stays as accurate as the facts it describes.
