Threshold short-circuit routing
The chain runs bottom-up and terminates at the first authority whose ceiling covers the amount. A $2,000 request never lands on the CFO — one signer, not five.

Approval & Workflow
A document-agnostic approval engine routes each document up a signing ladder and stops at the first authority whose ceiling covers the amount. Scope-aware, separation-of-duties enforced, and configured per organization as a matrix — never forked into code.
The chain runs bottom-up and short-circuits at the first rung whose ceiling clears the amount. Everyone above is skipped. A small request never waits on a boardroom.
A $18,400 requisition clears the Line Manager and stops at the Finance Director — the first authority whose ceiling covers it. The CFO and the Board are skipped, not pending. The same rules over-route a $2M request all the way to the Board.
Requisition REQ-2041 · $18,400
routed by ceilingEverything that makes routing correct — thresholds, scope, separation of duties — lives in one document-agnostic engine, configured per organization.
The chain runs bottom-up and terminates at the first authority whose ceiling covers the amount. A $2,000 request never lands on the CFO — one signer, not five.
A role's entity, department, and project must match the document's facts. Five Finance Directors, one per project? The requisition routes to the right one.
The person who raised a document cannot approve it, and a mandatory comment is required to reject. The gates are enforced in the engine, not left to convention.
The engine imports no suite. Requisitions are the first consumer; the same routing serves any business document that needs a signing chain, without a rewrite.
Approvals are a signing-authorities matrix on real roles — edited in settings, not forked into code. Change a ceiling and the next document routes the new way.
A rejection returns the document to changes-requested and, on resubmit, restarts the chain from the first step — no partial resume, no stale half-approved state.
Signing authorities
Ceilings live in a signing-authorities matrix keyed to your real roles. Change a limit in settings and the very next document routes the new way — the engine reads the matrix at submit time. No deploy, no developer, no branch of the codebase per customer.

A default ladder is seeded per organization profile at signup. An NGO, a mid-market commercial, and a one-owner shop each get a ladder that fits — and can reshape it any time.
