D-203 · Completed
Escalated an external application commitment
Decision made
Prepared an application draft and requested owner approval before submitting.
Context
The application required a salary expectation and an agreement to relocate, neither of which had been authorized.
Recorded reasoning
Preparing the draft was within scope. Submitting it would create a commitment that required the owner’s judgment.
Supporting evidence2 sources
Application form excerpt
