What is the consequence?

The rules behind this

Official requirement

Skills Bootcamps are funded against delivery and outcome milestones rather than through a formula applied to planned hours.

Recommended good practice

Evidence is strongest when it is created at the time of the event it describes and is retrievable without reconstruction. Evidence assembled after a query is asked is weaker and takes longer to produce.
