18. Project Matrix Considerations: Monitoring and Checklists • Code compliance is a core expectation • Around 50 to 60 questions • Remove ‘legal’ questions? • Closed compliance questions? • Other questions open and subjective? • Scoring only starts when compliance achieved? • A ‘star’ rating system for display on sites?
