type:review
Submit expenses that sail through approval — the capture-at-spend habit, the policy-fluency that prevents rejections (thresholds, receipt rules, the pre-approval traps), the report assembled in minutes, and the approver-side rules for reviewing fairly and fast.

Produces the capture habit, the policy crib, the submission routine, and the approver's rubric.
