## Practical steps

1. Classify the action
List concrete actions such as reading an approved summary, drafting copy, sending a campaign or changing a configuration. Avoid broad categories that hide meaningful differences.

2. Name the approver
For each consequential action, identify the accountable person and the details they need to review. Make approval specific to the audience, content or configuration change.

3. Specify the stop condition
Define what happens if approval is missing, data is ambiguous or the target venue cannot be verified. Require an observable result and a record of the authorized action.

## Review before acting

Test the matrix with a missing approval and a wrong-venue example. The intended result should be a stop, not a guessed continuation.

Watch for: Do not treat permission to draft as permission to publish or permission to modify a network.
