title: Organization Playbook description: Patterns across Marketing, Sales, Finance, Legal/Sec, and Engineering.
Organization Playbook
This playbook sketches how one company runs approvals end‑to‑end.
Marketing: Content & Campaigns
- Blog post publish: author + one editor (see Use Cases).
- Campaign discount: tiered by depth (sales lead <20%, VP >=20%).
Sales: Orders & Refunds
- Refund approval: one of Ops or Finance manager.
- Large order change: Ops approves first, then Finance.
Finance: Payouts & Spend
- Payout double‑sign: two approvals with
payouts.approve
. - Spend threshold: Ops first, CFO second for > $100k.
Legal & Security: Policies & Data
- Policy update: Legal OR Security must sign.
- PII access change: Security + DPO two‑step.
Engineering: Flags & Deploys
- Feature flag rollout: Ops gate then Engineering lead.
- Risky config change: peer with same permission must co‑sign.
Decisions (Voting)
- Architecture RFC: threshold 3 from role
architect
.
Practical Tips
- Start small: add a single guarded attribute and a one‑step flow.
- Keep flows close to the domain (models) when possible; use controller intercepts for external systems or orchestration.
- Use events to notify Slack/Email and to write audit logs (see Auditing & Changelog).
