# SME Reviewer Instructions

> DRAFT PILOT PACK — NOT PRODUCTION ENABLED. CIH, ASP, and CSP require SME review and program-owner approval before production enablement. Do not modify item content in review files; update review fields only.

## Your task

1. Review assigned items in the provided CSV or JSON workbook.
2. Fill **review fields only** — do not edit stems, choices, correct answers, or explanations.
3. Required on return: `reviewerName`, `reviewStatus`, `recommendedAction`, and comments where applicable.
4. Return completed files via the program owner's secure channel (see EXTERNAL_SME_DISTRIBUTION_GUIDE.md).

## Allowed disposition values

- `accept`, `revise`, `reject`, `needs source verification`

## Allowed recommended actions

- `approve`, `revise`, `reject`, `hold`, `retire`

## File formats accepted on return

- JSON: same structure as `*-review-export.json` with filled `items[]`
- CSV: same columns as `*-review-table.csv`

## Validation before import

Program staff will run `npm run validate:sme-return -- <your-file>` before staging imports.
