Documentation / QueryTek Review glossary / Client Workspace
A client workspace is the container for one engagement's material, reviewers, standards, and outcomes. It is the unit reviewers work inside and the unit clients ask about, which makes it the practical boundary of a review program even though the tenant is the security boundary beneath it.
The workspace holds everything belonging to one engagement: the documents in scope, the standards profile and rubric being applied, the reviewers assigned, the annotations produced, and the completed outcomes. Reviewers assigned to a workspace see that material; they do not see adjacent engagements.
Two boundaries operate here, and conflating them causes confusion.
The tenant is the security boundary — a customer organization, enforced at the data layer, and the boundary a cross-boundary exposure would cross. The workspace is the working boundary inside a tenant, separating one engagement from another so a reviewer on a policy review is not also browsing an unrelated matter.
That distinction has practical weight. A workspace boundary is a need-to-know control, which is why an organization with several concurrent engagements can staff them with different reviewers and expect that separation to hold even though all the work sits inside one tenant.
The workspace is also where consistency lives. Because the standards profile attaches to the workspace rather than to each document, every document in the engagement is evaluated against the same criteria, and a change to the profile applies to the engagement rather than to whichever documents happen to be reviewed next.
Finally, it is the natural reporting unit. Volume, turnaround, and outcome distribution are questions about an engagement, and the workspace is what makes them answerable without aggregating across unrelated work.
Reviewers work on sensitive material, and access should follow assignment rather than employment. A workspace makes "only the people on this engagement" an enforced condition rather than a policy statement.
It also gives clients a coherent thing to ask about. Questions about scope, progress, and who has had access resolve against the workspace instead of requiring a reconstruction from individual documents.
QueryTek Review organizes engagement material into client workspaces inside the tenant boundary, with reviewer access following assignment. Workspace provisioning and reviewer assignment are handled through engagement setup rather than public documentation.
