What condition must exist to edit the factor guidance of a published RAM?

• A. All assessment instance records are deleted
• B. States of the assessment instance records are irrelevant
• C. All assessment instance records are in the Monitor state
• D. All assessment instance records are closed

Answer: (A)

When you edit the factor guidance of a published RAM, the system requires that there are no existing assessment records tied to that RAM. Deleting all assessment instance records removes any active or historical evaluations that could reference the current factor guidance. This prevents retroactive changes to past risk scores and preserves audit integrity. Once there are no assessment instances left, you can update the factor guidance and re-publish or apply it to new assessments.
