Review Posture

Equivalent Terms​

No accepted equivalent terms are recorded yet.

Equivalent-term claims should be submitted through the proposal lifecycle and accepted only through a decision record.

Overlapping Terms​

The following terms may overlap with review posture, but are not treated as identical without review:

  • review status;
  • approval status;
  • oversight status;
  • human review;
  • quorum review.

Adjacent Terms​

The following terms are adjacent because they may involve review or oversight without defining the review condition relevant to a transition at commit time:

  • approval workflow;
  • change approval;
  • sign-off;
  • audit review;
  • escalation path.

Definition​

Review posture describes the state of human, automated, delegated, or quorum-based review for a proposed transition.

It answers whether review is absent, optional, required, completed, blocked, delegated, escalated, or refused.

Review posture is the review condition relevant to a transition at commit time.

Why The StegVerse Term Is Retained​

The StegVerse term is retained because overlapping terms may describe review or approval state without preserving whether that state had standing when consequence was allowed to bind.

Common Postures​

Common postures may include:

  • not required;
  • required;
  • completed;
  • pending;
  • blocked;
  • delegated;
  • escalated;
  • refused.

Why It Matters​

A transition may have technical validity and evidence while still requiring review before consequence can bind.

Admissibility must preserve whether review was required and whether that requirement was satisfied.
