Give every input an owner
Replace requests to a group with one accountable name per section. The coordinator tracks status; the subject-matter owner remains responsible for accuracy.
Design for late information
Share a clearly labeled review version, identify any gap and its impact, and set a final update time.
Review the workflow
After a missed commitment or unclear handoff, update the rule, name the owner, and record the next review date. Use the executive office operating rhythm to keep the change in regular practice.
