Approval gate
An approval gate is a checkpoint in a workflow where human authority is required before the workflow can advance. Gates are defined by role (who can approve), context (which agreement types or risk tiers require approval), and threshold (what risk or value triggers the gate). Approval gates are the human-decision boundaries inside otherwise automated orchestration.
