SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of contract issues being escalated too late or to the wrong person, especially when approvals depend on thresholds, matrices, or regulatory triggers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Escalation matrix matching: Classifies the issue (pound threshold, term deviation, automatic trigger, regulatory trigger, or business decision) and selects the correct approver role.
  • UK regulatory trigger flagging: Identifies common UK routing triggers (CMA, FCA, ICO, Companies House) and prompts appropriate regulatory-aware review before signature.
  • Approval-request drafting: Produces a ready-to-send escalation message (but does not send it) that includes what the contract says, what the playbook says, options, and a decision-by date.

Quick Start

Run /commercial-legal-uk:escalation-flagger and describe the contract issue you need approved (for example: “uncapped liability in the MSA — who approves and what should I ask?”).

FAQPage Schema
How do I route a UK commercial contract issue to the correct approver?

You route a contract approval escalation by classifying the issue type and pound threshold against the escalation matrix, which identifies the correct approver role and channel. The Skill then drafts a complete ask using contract quotes and playbook language.

What UK regulatory triggers require an escalation before contract signature?

UK regulatory triggers requiring escalation include CMA, FCA, ICO, and Companies House routing flags. Identifying these triggers during review prompts appropriate regulatory-aware approval before the contract reaches signature.

How do I draft an approval request for an over-the-line contract deviation?

Draft an approval request by extracting relevant contract quotes and playbook language to outline what the contract says, what the playbook says, available options, and a decision-by date for the approver.

When do I need to use an escalation matrix for contract approval workflows?

You need an escalation matrix when a contract issue exceeds standard review authority, hits a specific pound threshold, or triggers a regulatory flag that requires routing to a higher-level approver for authorization.

Does the escalation flagger send the approval request automatically?

The escalation flagger does not send the approval request automatically. It drafts a ready-to-send escalation message containing the contract details, playbook options, and decision-by date for manual review and dispatch.
