Computational Result Review Process
We define various states through which large scale computational results are migrated. Each stage indicates and increasing level of confidence in the correctness of the results.

Define Data Set
To begin, we define the data set under consideration. For example, a hazard curve that is part of a study, might be considered, even if the full study is not complete. A single hazard curve could be in one state, while full study can be in another state.
State 1 - Started
Data set calculations have begun.
State 2 - Preliminary
The data set calculations are completed, and complete results are believed to exist.
State 3 - Reviewed
Data-set specific, standardized, defined, checks ready for use internal researchers.
For example, for a hazard curve, review checks might include:
- No Nan
- No zero entries (for data sets where non-zero entries are not defined)
- No amplitudes beyond 5g
- All rupture variations have amplitudes for all components
When we consider the full study as the data set under consideration, we might define the following rules:
- all component hazard curves are in the reviewed state, plus
- Calculate new hazard maps
- Calculate ratio maps between new results and 14.2
State 4 - Publishable
Ready for use by external researchers.
