• by a control circuit that is operably coupled to a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader:
• detecting, using at least information received via the RFID reader regarding a reading of one or more RFID tags by the RFID reader, one or more circumstances that evidence a status of interest pertaining to performance of a task of interest;
• and
• making a determination that the performance of the task of interest has likely been completed.

An apparatus comprising:

• a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader;
• and
• a control circuit operably coupled to the RFID reader, the control circuit being configured to:
• receive an indication that a first RFID tag was read by the RFID reader at a first location, the first location being an expected location for performance of a first task;
• and
• make a determination that the performance of the first task has likely been completed.
