A practical approach
Document where information enters and which organizations can access it.
Determine why each processing activity is necessary and which requirements apply.
Review retention, training reuse and supplier terms separately.

Put the idea to work
Bring the business owner, technical lead and relevant risk specialists into the same discussion. Start with one real use case and document the information available today. Record missing evidence as an action with an owner, rather than allowing uncertainty to disappear in a summary score.
A useful review output distinguishes facts, assumptions and decisions. It also states what would trigger a reassessment: a new purpose, a changed model, a different data source or an incident. This makes the review useful after the initial meeting.
