Begin with an explicit operating record
Begin with an explicit operating record: capture the decision owner, current document, review duration, response deadline, and the person who resolves questions. For HireExecutiveTeam, this keeps executive support practical while leaving consequential judgment with the accountable leader.
Place the review block before the last useful correction
Place the review block before the last useful correction point, not immediately before the meeting. If the source changes, notify the reviewer and preserve the earlier version.
Support can reserve time and chase the approved source
Support can reserve time and chase the approved source, but it cannot treat silence as approval or decide the substance.
After two weekly cycles, review real completions, corrections, waiting
After two weekly cycles, review real completions, corrections, waiting time, and exceptions. Change the workflow only with its owner, document the revised authority, and keep the smallest record that proves the handoff worked.
