The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Approve the purchase requisition submitted by R&D for 50 liters of polymer solvent, supplier ChemPros, at $120 per liter, total $6,000, charge to project RND-314, required by May 20. Approve only if safety data sheet is attached and procurement has validated vendor compliance. Sign off and route to procurement for PO creation if checks pass.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I approve this requisition to speed procurement, make it easy for the approver: surface the total cost and project code at the top, show that the SDS is attached and vendor compliance status, flag any procurement holds or single-source justification, and highlight if expedited shipping will change cost or approval routing.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I’m sitting on a requisition missing the SDS.

A requisition for polymer solvent sits on my desk; procurement wants it approved to meet an experiment deadline, but the safety data sheet is missing and I’m not sure if procurement already vetted ChemPros. I’m afraid approving now could breach safety policy; I can’t tell if a quick temp exemption is allowed. What’s the likely diagnosis and best next move to balance safety and the deadline?

Become — change the pattern

Requisitions repeatedly stall over missing compliance docs.

We repeatedly lose days because requisitions for lab chemicals are routed back for missing SDS or supplier compliance checks. Approvers and procurement both assume the other has validated the vendor. What single habit or handoff change would stop these stalled requisitions and cut average approval time in half?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
