Approvals & comments

Results are rarely final the instant they are calculated — people want to review, discuss, and sign off. KManagement has two tools for this: a formal approval workflow and free-form comment threads.

The approval workflow

While a cycle is locked, results can be run through sign-off. The steps are:

1. Request review — an approver kicks off the process, creating one approval item per person.
2. Acknowledge or dispute — each person reviews their own result and either accepts it or raises a dispute.
3. Approve or resolve — the approver approves accepted results and works through any disputes until they are resolved.

Every step sends a notification and is recorded in the history, so it is always clear where each person’s result stands.

Comments and @mentions

Anyone who is allowed to see a result can discuss it in comments — a bit like leaving notes in a shared spreadsheet. You can comment on:

• A single metric — for example to explain why one number is unusual.
• The whole result — for a general discussion of the cycle.

Type @and a teammate’s name to mention them; they get a notification. You can only mention people who are already allowed to see that discussion. You can edit your own comments, and deleting a comment simply hides it.
