[ Please Review ]

There’s a collective cringe that occurs when the emailed request comes in: ‘please review and comment’. 

Attached will be some long and probably tedious document, awaiting that review, with little further guidance provided.  And there’s usually more than one person copied on the email as well.  Technology may be improving on this, especially within companies (hello document sharing), but not so when multiple organisations are involved (i.e., committee work).

With multiple reviewers, and no clear guidance on ‘what’ is supposed to be reviewed, it’s a recipe for confusion. 

There has to be a better way, and I’m looking for it.
