Failure state: Queue stuck

Work is accumulating without bounded resolution. "Pending" has become an unpriced outcome.

Delay in processing becomes a form of ongoing harm.

Next required artifact

Start with Escalation ladder / freeze authority table to lock owner, evidence scope, and reversal path before response drifts.

  1. Assign the accountable owner now.
  2. Capture evidence and timestamps in the first artifact.
  3. Confirm escalation handoff before opening additional tracks.

Response workflow (triage → stabilize → evidence)

  1. Triage

    Escalation ladder / freeze authority table

    Capture the failure state and decision context before evidence drifts.

    Open Escalation ladder / freeze authority table

    Next checks: Run governability check · Review contestability standard

  2. Stabilize

    Reversal SLA template

    Constrain harmful flow paths while ownership and escalation coverage are active.

    Open Reversal SLA template

    Next checks: Open escalation simulation · Review justice SLO standard

  3. Evidence

    Harm receipt format

    Capture records and evidence packs so repair obligations are auditable and time-bound.

    Open Harm receipt format

    Next checks: Check evidence-pack readiness · Review temporal-rights standard

Workflow follows triage → stabilize → evidence.

If a field is hard to fill, that is the governance question this artifact is designed to surface.
