Extraction and clearance of records from a controlled system, and the quality lead's time in describing internal practice. Drafting is a smaller share than most expect. Ask for an itemised scope covering record extraction, the role description, dependants, and later questions, and confirm official charges at the time of the step.
Use the system's own outputs
Because quality systems already record authorship, approvals, and audit participation, much of the evidence can be produced by running reports rather than writing narratives, which keeps the cost down. Spend the effort saved on describing what makes the organisation's practice specific. Ask what happens financially if the role description needs reworking after legal review and before anything is filed.
