Question and method
This review treats role assignment, access control, and escalation as a bounded evidence question, not as proof that one workflow will improve every team. The comparison focuses on a documented permission can clarify execution without transferring accountability. The practical issue is whether a small team can preserve enough context for a delegated action to be checked later. The source set includes an authority map with an owner, permitted action, evidence, and stop condition; those materials differ in purpose and method, so their claims are not combined into a single effect estimate.
