Read guideConfirm that the request is outside the agreed scope, estimate the added effort, and send the price and schedule impact for approval before doing the work.
Read guideGive each review a named deliverable version, a specific decision and an authorized reviewer. Keep the decision, date and feedback attached to that version instead of treating a loose email reply as approval of everything.
