# Offer Approval Evidence Chain Map

## Inputs
Draft offer terms, approval policy, approver roster, approved ranges and the requisition record.

## Workflow
1. List every offer term: title, level, pay, bonus, equity, location, start date and expiry.
2. Match each term to the approval record that covers it; flag terms outside approved ranges.
3. Confirm the approver was on the current roster when approving.
4. Return gaps without editing terms or contacting the candidate.

## Output contract
Term | value | approved range | approver | approval date | gap | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional offer sets pay 9% above the approved band and lists an approver who left the roster in June. Flag both; the other 6 of 8 terms have matching approvals.

## Review gates
Re-check expiry dates on approvals. An approval from a departed approver is a gap, not a technicality.
