01Define the boundary
Identify the actor, target resource and operation that terms & privacy lifecycle is meant to govern.
02Configure the policy
Define when acceptance is required, how changes to terms are represented and what evidence is stored. Keep legal wording, retention and privacy requirements reviewed by qualified owners rather than embedding assumptions in interface code.
03Exercise the edge cases
A user is prompted to accept the currently applicable terms before completing the relevant workflow, and the recorded version can be inspected later. Also test the path that should be denied, deferred or sent for review.
04Review the outcome
Check that the resulting state is understandable and that the decision can be investigated later. For audit-enabled operations, confirm the relevant actor and context are captured.
