The Quality Seal feature in SAP LeanIX is a core component of its data governance framework. Its purpose is to establish a formal review and approval workflow for Fact Sheets. This ensures that the information is accurate, complete, and current. By assigning clear roles and responsibilities (e.g., Accountable, Responsible), the process promotes accountability and encourages stakeholders to collaborate on maintaining high-quality data. The seal visually indicates the quality status of a Fact Sheet (e.g., Approved, In Review), which builds trust in the enterprise architecture repository and supports a rigorous, yet collaborative, governance model.

B. This is incorrect because the Quality Seal process does not inherently restrict all modifications. Instead, it manages changes by requiring a re-approval to maintain the "Approved" status, ensuring quality control.

C. This is incorrect because the Quality Seal represents the outcome of a deliberate, manual review and approval workflow by designated stakeholders. It is the opposite of an automatic approval system.
