• C&E Documentation Validation
• Execute tag-by-tag comparisons between Cause & Effect (C&E) documentation and reference sources (e.g., instrument lists, I/O lists, logic narratives)
• Identify discrepancies including missing tags, naming mismatches, duplicate entries, or incorrect associations
• Log and document findings in structured tracking tools with clear, repeatable evidence
• SIS / Controls Tag Validation
