[ SCENARIO · FREE · DETERMINISTIC ]
Build a Facility
You are bringing a new manufacturing facility online. Decide how to scope, verify, and evidence the qualified state — from design through commissioning and qualification to startup.
What a scenario is not
A scenario is a judgment exercise, not an assessment and not a compliance verdict. Finishing it evidences that you worked through it — nothing more — and the dimensions it scores are SPEQ’s, not any regulator’s.
You are building and proving that a new facility can make product reliably. Your choices decide whether it is qualified efficiently and defensibly — or over-tested, under-evidenced, or rushed.
A risk- and science-based approach (ASTM E2500) focuses verification on what matters to product quality; commissioning and qualification build and evidence the qualified state.
This is where the physical state of control is built. Getting the scope of verification right is the difference between an efficient, defensible startup and a costly, fragile one.
You are a CQV engineer on a new facility project. The schedule is tight and the budget is watched.
Choose what a controlled, risk-based project would actually do — each decision changes what happens next.
The project is defining what will be qualified. How do you set the scope of verification?
This is a judgment exercise, not a quiz: your choices change the situation. It is scored across scope · verification · evidence · governance — the same dimensions an inspector effectively weighs when they follow the thread of a real deviation. There is no compliance verdict here; the debriefs explain consequences.

Finishing this exercise is recorded. What it evidences — and the things it does not — is set out against the published standard.
