Start with an explicit population
Record which Jira issues belong to the release and why. A stable JQL scope makes later evidence interpretable and prevents incorrect fields from silently removing work.
Use deterministic checks

Document the decision boundary
Export or retain the evidence your process requires, then keep exception judgment, accepted risk, and final approval assigned to accountable people.
