Submit for Approval

Submit an action to the Notion Decisions DB approval queue for founder review.

Input

• Type: One of: Deployment, Content, Outreach, Spending, Stage Change
• Venture slug: Which venture this is for
• Description: What action is being requested

Step 1: Prepare the Submission

Read the context needed for the founder to make a decision:

• For Content: Include the full draft text in the Context field
• For Outreach: Include the target, channel, and full message draft
• For Deployment: Include what's being deployed and where
• For Spending: Include the amount, what it's for, and ROI justification
• For Stage Change: Include evidence that exit criteria are met

Step 2: Create Decisions DB Entry

Create a page in the Decisions database (data source: YOUR_DECISIONS_DATASOURCE_ID):

Decision: {Short title of what needs approval}
Type: {Deployment / Content / Outreach / Spending / Stage Change}
Status: Pending
Venture: {venture slug}
Submitted By: {agent name}
Urgency: {Low / Medium / High}
Date: {today}
Context: {Full details — the draft content, the action description, the evidence}

Step 3: Log the Submission

Write a note to the venture's decisions/ directory:

decisions/{date}-{slug}.md:
# Pending Approval: {title}
Submitted to Decisions DB on {date}.
Type: {type}
Waiting for founder review.

Step 4: Confirm

Report: "Submitted for approval: {title}. Check the Decisions DB in Notion to approve or reject."

The item will be executed by ChiefOfStaff during the next work cycle after the founder marks it "Approved".
