Requirement

5.0.8.0. Use must be fully disclosed to whoever reviews the work

Required May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "What is the technology being used for?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

The first condition. Disclosure is to the person reviewing the work (the counselor, the leader signing off, the board), and "fully" is the Guide's word.

Notes and warnings

Warning. Full disclosure to the person reviewing the work is a condition of the permission, not a courtesy attached to it. Undisclosed use is not permitted use, and the reviewer is the counselor, the leader signing off or the board, whoever is actually judging the requirement.

Where this step comes from
