Compliance Gate Documents
Layer 1 documents protect the economics of the clean stream at intake. They are designed to stop misclassification, contamination, and avoidable downstream cost before the load is accepted as clean.
Exception Review Score
FRAMEWORK
Risk x Weight x Evidence
Risk
How likely the load contains treated, painted, or otherwise suspect material.
Weight
Bigger loads create bigger cost consequences when the call is wrong.
Evidence quality
Photos, notes, and site context should support the routing decision.
Business impact
The score is there to protect margin and records, not to decorate the file.
SCORE THRESHOLDS:
Precautionary principle
When material is unclear, keep it out of the clean stream until it is verified.
That one decision often protects more money than any last-minute marketing promise can recover.
