There is no defined offer, owner, or minimum information needed to make a decision.Controls that keep the workflow usable
A reliable system names its owner, retains the context needed for a decision, gives exceptions a visible path, and leaves a record of what happened.
- A single record for source, context, owner, and current state.
- A human route for ambiguous, sensitive, or high-value requests.
- A visible follow-up deadline instead of an untracked inbox promise.
