1. PRESERVE WHAT IS ALREADY APPROVED
[ ] Download permitted final audio and confirm each file plays locally.
[ ] Keep the exact script, version and pronunciation notes beside each file.
[ ] Identify files that cannot be retrieved; resolve with the current provider.
[ ] Retain permitted original clone recordings and the associated permissions.

2. DEFINE THE ACCEPTABLE CHANGE
[ ] Decide whether a new narrator is acceptable for the whole piece.

3. COMPARE THE SAME PASSAGE
Use your own approved script, or this fictional example for an initial check:

five will replace the old dashboard. Choose the annual report, check the total
of one thousand two hundred and fifty dollars, and select Export. Before you
close this window, listen to the final sentence: your report is ready to share.
