Threshold Escalation

Approvals
Primary · Finance
Secondary · Procurement

Leaders drown in approvals that never needed them. Most approvals sit below the line that requires leadership judgment, yet the high-risk items wait in the same queue as a routine request.

Flo reads each request against your thresholds, routes the low-risk ones on their standard path, and escalates only what crosses the line, with the budget, supplier, and policy context a leader needs to decide. It does the triage, it does not just surface a queue.

Flo escalates and closes. Leaders decide the big calls. Their queue holds only what matters and everything else still moves. Threshold rules are yours to set and change, and every escalation is logged.
