Approval step
The point where a finished draft waits for a named person to say yes before it is published.

What “Approval step” means
An approval step separates the person who prepares a post from the person who answers for it, even when both are the same person an hour apart. It is one of the five rows on the scorecard, and its weight rises with team size. The check in a demo is simple: have one person create a draft, and see whether it can be published around the approver.
Link AI by Linkme has this step in its published description: the drafting is the agent's, the approving is a person's, and anything a colleague drafts can be flagged 'Needs review' first. Who exactly may approve, and whether there are further roles or permission levels, is not stated in this reference. See weighting by team size for when this row deserves a 3.
