How approval thresholds keep humans in the loop

People worry that automation will act without asking. A good workflow does the opposite. It handles the routine cases quietly and stops when a case deserves a human decision.

Pick the line that matters

A threshold is a simple rule: below this amount, go ahead; above it, ask. Teams usually choose the amount where a mistake would hurt, such as five thousand dollars for a payment. You can add more rules for new vendors, unusual currencies or missing fields.

The goal is not to remove people. It is to send them only the work that needs them.

Make the ask easy to answer

When Cinder pauses, it sends the full context to the right person: the document, the extracted fields and the reason it stopped. A reviewer can approve or reject in one click, and the decision is recorded in the run log.
