SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents contract review bottlenecks by routing issues to the appropriate approver based on your escalation matrix and drafting a clear, ready-to-send ask.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Escalation matrix matching: Determines the correct approver using written escalation rules, including dollar thresholds, term deviations, and automatic escalation triggers.
  • Deal-side characterization: Identifies whether the issue is sales-side or purchasing-side so the right playbook logic is applied.
  • Decision-ready drafting: Produces a structured escalation message (what happened, relevant contract quote, relevant playbook quote, options, recommendation, and decision deadline) without sending it.

Quick Start

Use the escalation-flagger skill to draft an escalation by providing a memo reference or the specific clause/issue that needs approval.

FAQPage Schema
How do I route a contract escalation to the right approver?

To route a contract escalation, this skill matches your contract issue against a commercial-legal escalation matrix and playbook to identify the correct approver based on dollar thresholds and term deviations. It then names the approver and drafts a decision-ready ask.

What is a legal escalation matrix and when do I need GC sign-off?

A legal escalation matrix defines approval routing rules for contract issues based on thresholds and automatic triggers. You need GC sign-off when a contract review finding involves term deviations or dollar limits that exceed standard commercial legal authority.

How do I draft an approval routing request for a contract deviation?

You draft an approval routing request by providing a memo reference or specific clause issue. The skill generates a structured escalation message detailing what happened, relevant quotes, options, recommendation, and decision deadline without sending it.

Does this escalation routing work for both sales-side and purchasing-side contracts?

Yes, escalation routing applies to both sales-side and purchasing-side contracts. The skill characterizes the deal side of the issue to ensure the correct commercial legal playbook logic is applied for your approval routing.

What information do I need to provide to generate a contract escalation draft?

You need to provide a memo reference or the specific contract clause and issue requiring approval. The skill uses this input alongside internal escalation rules to characterize the issue and draft a decision-ready escalation message.

Can I send the escalation message directly to the approver from this skill?

No, the skill drafts a decision-ready escalation message but does not send it. It produces the structured ask with context and options, leaving the final approval routing and delivery action to the user.
