Ready for publish

Leaders drown in approvals that never needed them. The signal is buried under low-risk noise, so the high-risk items wait in the same queue as a $50 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 context a leader needs to decide fast.

Flo escalates and closes. Leaders decide the big calls. Their queue holds only what matters. Everything else still moves.
