Offer Approval Evidence Chain Map

Map each offer term to its recorded approver before the offer is sent, so unapproved terms never reach a candidate.

What to provide

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 and limits

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