Begin with an explicit operating record
Begin with an explicit operating record: capture the committed outcome, accountable owner, target date, controlling dependency, confidence basis, and next validation point. For HireExecutiveTeam, this keeps executive support practical while leaving consequential judgment with the accountable leader.

Use a small set of defined confidence labels and update the basis when a dependency moves. Do not convert a requested date into a promise merely to fill a field.
Support maintains the evidence and flags drift; owners validate
Support maintains the evidence and flags drift; owners validate delivery estimates and executives resolve priority or risk conflicts.

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.
