The standard

Every sheet, held to the same rules.

Sourced, not asserted
Where a figure is set by government or by a regulator, the sheet names the instrument it comes from.
Proposed is labelled
Where something is proposed rather than law, the sheet says so, so a decision is not taken on a consultation.
Board-pack PDF
Every sheet can be taken away with a cover page, a running head and the verification date on every page.
