Lean Inspections
summary
Case study of a greenfield system with ~100 high‑level themes and a five‑person SME pool uses statistical sampling inspections (300‑word pages, 3 rule checks, categorize major/minor) before full reviews, then improves rules and checklist‑backed definition of ready. Inspections cut checking effort ~5×, reduce defects by ~90%, drop major defects from 20–80 per page to <8 then to ~5–6 per page, yield ~25% net budget savings, and produce one author with ROI 5.3 while enforcing process learning.
