Deal Desk Approval
Design who may approve what on non-standard deals - discounts, custom terms, risky structures - and deliver it as a spec: an approval matrix across five concession levers, a prohibited-terms class, exception intake with SLA clocks and escalation, and precedent control. This skill covers deal-desk approvals only: general business-process approvals (expense, procurement, HR, engineering change) are out of scope - say so and stop when asked for them.
Deal-desk thresholds are not standardized: every number in circulation comes from practitioner blogs and consultancies, several from content farms. The skill's core discipline is therefore provenance: label where each threshold comes from, and derive the real ones from the user's own deal data, not from an imported "industry" number.
