Workflow & Handoffs

Primary Issues

• Workflow Step Has No Decision Owner

  A workflow step requires a decision, approval, judgment, or routing choice, but no owner is declared for making it.

• Human Review and Automation Disagree

  A human review result and an automated AI or workflow result disagree without a declared rule for resolving the difference.

• Model and Workflow Disagree on Next Step

  The AI model recommends or selects a next step that conflicts with the workflow state, required handoff, routing rule, or process sequence.

• Review Outcome Changes Unrelated Environment

  A review result, approval, rejection, or classification changes state outside the environment, case, file, or workflow it was meant to govern.

• Workflow Step Lacks Required Conditions

  A workflow step can run, route, approve, reject, or continue without the required conditions being declared or checked.

• Workflow Stage Has Too Few Checks

  A workflow stage lacks enough checks, gates, criteria, or review conditions to safely support the work it controls.

Showing 8 of 22 cross-listed issues.

• Fallback Authority Is Missing

  The system does not declare who or what has authority when the primary owner, rule, tool, source, or decision path is unavailable or inconclusive.

• Tool Result Not Integrated Correctly

  The AI receives a tool result but misreads, ignores, overwrites, misplaces, or fails to incorporate it correctly into the final output or workflow state.

• Task Progress Is Lost Midway

  The AI loses track of completed work, prior decisions, current position, or remaining steps before the task is finished.

• Repair Step Created New Breakage

  A repair, correction, retry, or fix step addresses one problem but introduces a new failure elsewhere.

• Prompt Changed but Workflow Did Not

  A prompt changes but the workflow, parser, review step, routing rule, or downstream expectation still assumes the old prompt behavior.

• Rubric Changed but Results Did Not

  A review rubric, scoring rule, evaluation standard, or classification criterion changes, but AI results continue to reflect the old rubric.

• Same Workflow Check Happens Twice

  The same review, validation, approval, routing, or safety check occurs more than once in the workflow without a clear reason.

• Review Rubric Missing Required Criteria

  A review rubric, grading rule, evaluation checklist, or classification standard lacks criteria required to make the review reliable.
