Support can protect the agreed rule and prepare alternatives, but the executive decides which material commitment takes priority.
Review the workflow after two weekly cycles
Review the workflow after two weekly cycles. Look for corrections, avoidable waiting, missing evidence, and repeated exceptions. Simplify fields that create noise and document revised authority before relying on it.
Frequently asked questions
