5-week public-signal pilot; monitored CQC changes and linked them to tenant/property exposure; no public claims auto-published.

02What it owns
Reports toESG / Risk Lead, with the Healthcare Director sighted on material rating changes.
Owns
  • CQC change log — daily-checked, normalised record of rating, inspection and registration changes for in-portfolio operators
  • Portfolio mapping refresh — reconciles new and de-registered CQC locations against the Excel portfolio map
  • Per-asset exposure notes — each material change linked to the affected tenant, lease and asset with a draft impact line
  • Follow-up queue — every flagged change carries a named owner, an SLA and a review status in Teams
  • Weekly surveillance digest — one reviewed summary for the risk lead with the open items, closed items and outstanding owner asks
Does not do
  • Investor or lender communications — drafts only, the risk lead and director approve every external line
  • Covenant or rent-review decisions — surfaces evidence; the asset manager and risk lead decide
  • Public claims or auto-publishing — no CQC interpretation leaves the team without human review
Done looks like

A new CQC change is logged within 72 hours, mapped to the right tenant and asset by the next morning, and a named owner is acting on the follow-up before the weekly risk review.
