Part 1

What this upload proves

The checklist helps the offer team prove it checked minimum requirements, category instructions, and selected SIN needs before submission.

It belongs in the administrative control lane and should be used before eOffer upload, not only after documents are drafted.

Part 2

How to prepare it cleanly

Start by naming the proof role, file owner, source system, date pulled or signed, and whether the file is required, conditional, or optional for the selected offer.

Then compare the file against the pricing workbook, SAM record, eOffer narrative, and category/SIN instructions so the package tells one story.

Part 3

What to watch before upload

Treating the checklist as a final paperwork exercise can hide missing category requirements until late.

Use filenames that help the reviewer understand the document before opening it. A clear file name with document type, company, SIN or category when relevant, and date is usually better than an internal shorthand.

The upload goal is calm review: current file, clear purpose, no contradictions.
