What a good approval step looks like

Approval only protects you if the reviewer can see what the agent did and why. Here is what to show them.

Most approval screens ask a person to say yes to a finished draft, with no view of how it got there. That turns review into a habit rather than a check.

Show the source next to the draft

A reviewer should see the letter, ticket or policy the agent read, next to the sentence it produced. When the source is one click away, people catch more and approve faster.

Make the risky part obvious

Flag what is new, unusual or outside policy, and let the rest stay quiet. Reviewers keep paying attention when the screen only asks for attention where it counts.
