Route by rule, not by tray.

Case intake across channels with validation, rule-based assignment, parallel review where possible, decisions with recorded reasons and notification to the applicant at every status change.

The problem

Most turnaround is lost in waiting, not in working. A case sits in a tray between departments, and the sequential review pattern means each stage begins only when the previous one ends.

Where two departments can review in parallel, sequencing them is a design choice, not a requirement — and it is usually the single largest source of avoidable delay.
