WHAT MATTERS
The operating details behind the promise.
Show the evidence
Present the brief, brand rule, claim source, media, destination, schedule, and prior revision beside the decision.
Record the outcome
Keep approve, revise, reject, pause, and reschedule decisions with the work so future agents and reviewers understand the history.
HOW IT WORKS
Move from context to accountable action.
Every stage keeps the brand, goal, evidence, permissions, and work history attached.
- 01
Define the operating question
Name the decision, people, context, inputs, output, authority, and evidence required.
- 02
Run the smallest complete loop
Connect understanding, planning, creation, review, action, measurement, and learning without skipping the risky handoff.
- 03
Improve from a real result
Preserve the supported lesson, correct the context, and expand only when the workflow remains inspectable.
INDOO PRINCIPLE
Limitations: the right workflow depends on the product, market, team, regulation, data quality, provider permissions, and consequence of the action. Treat this as an operating framework, not a guaranteed result.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Direct answers, then the details.
What is the short answer to “design a marketing approval workflow people will actually use”?
