KnightGrid for Senior Management
Stand behind every vendor you sign off.
KnightGrid puts the evidence, open conditions and exceptions in front of you before you sign, and freezes the record at your signature. If the approval is questioned, you can show what you knew and why you decided.
The approval
From briefing to signature, and after.
Your part of the decision is short. What you see before signing, and what the record keeps afterwards, is what protects you.
Approve with conditions that have owners.
A conditional approval is only as strong as its follow-through. Each condition you set carries a named owner, a required action and a due date, and stays attached to your decision.
Named ownerDue dateAttached to the record
Own the exception, on the record.
When a hard gate fails and the business still needs to proceed, the decision comes to you. The failed gate stays visible, the override carries your conditions and an expiry date, and it is never presented as a pass.
Gate stays visibleTime-boundYour name
Sign once. The record freezes.
Some controls clear without individual review, but nothing is sealed until an accountable person signs. Your signature freezes the evidence, the rule versions, the conditions and your judgment together.

Know when your approval stops being current.
A material change opens a new assessment. Your original approval stays exactly as you signed it, as evidence of what was known at the time, and the new decision comes back to an approver.
