System and method for tracking the fulfillment status of requirements for completing an objective

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for processing a multi-person paper award form containing thereon a form identifier to obtain an individual award completion status for each of at least two persons whose requirement fulfillment status toward individual completion of the award is contained on the form in a respective separate and identical set of response fields printed on the form, said method comprising:

• scanning the multi-person paper award form using an electronic scanner to produce a scan result, wherein each said separate and identical set of response fields printed on the form contains a corresponding response field for recording the fulfillment status of each of the requirements toward individual completion of the award by each said at least two persons, respectively;
• obtaining said form identifier contained on the form from the scan result;
• obtaining from the scan result a mark state for each response field printed on the form in said each of at least two persons' respective said separate and identical set of response fields;
• validating the fulfillment status of requirements for said each of at least two persons based on said the mark state for each response field in said each of at least two persons' respective said separate and identical set of response fields;
• obtaining from a database an individual form row number for said each of at least two persons, wherein the form row number identifies the respective row number of the separate and identical set of response fields for said each of at least two persons contained on the multi-person paper award form having the form identifier obtained from the scan result;
• storing the form identifier and the mark state of each response field in said each of at least two persons' said separate and identical set of response fields with the respective individual form row number so that the stored mark states indicate the fulfillment status of requirements for completing the award by said each of at least two persons;
• and
• comparing the stored mark states for said each of at least two persons contained on the multi-person paper award form with a completion schema to obtain the resulting individual award completion status for said each of at least two persons.
