What waits for your signature

On the right of the office there is a panel with the decisions that depend on a person. Its header carries a counter: if it reads zero, nothing is waiting.

Group What it contains
Roles Proposals for new roles, or for significant changes to an existing one, waiting for someone with authority to approve them.
Requests Permissions a role asks for to do something it cannot do on its own: an expense, an access, an action outside the company.
Decisions What leadership puts to you because it affects the company and should not be decided by an agent.

Every item arrives with what you need to decide without asking anyone:

  • Who is asking: the role and its craft.
  • What it wants to do: in one sentence, with the detail behind it.
  • What it costs or what risk it carries: the expected expense, the scope or what will be affected.
  • What happens if it is approved and what happens if it is not.

Every item has two exits: approve or reject. When you decide:

  • If you approve, the role receives the permission and continues. If the permission was for a specific action, it is told it now has it; if the run fails, it is told that too, so it does not take the permission as given.
  • If you reject, the role is told not to go that way: it has to find another route or explain what it needs. It is not left retrying the same thing.

The decision is signed with your name in the record.

  • What the role can do on its own does not reach you: if every step needed permission, it would not be a team, it would be a form.
  • Technical errors are not decisions: they show up in the record and in the assignment’s status, not in this panel.

It means nothing is blocked waiting for you. It does not mean there is no work: assignments may be running, and you see them on the work screen and in the office.
