Walkthrough checklist

  1. Sort paper and supplies by frequency and sensitivity.
  2. Place active files within reach and archive material away from the work surface.
  3. Check that storage can be locked where the work requires it.
Worked example

Imagine a counselor who keeps confidential paper files alongside ordinary stationery in a shared home office.

Give sensitive files a dedicated lockable location and keep active notes in a separate work tray. Confirm the arrangement fits the professional's handling practices and the household's privacy needs.

How to test it
