Decision slice / LONG-TERM DECISION REVIEW
Closing is not administrative work after signing
Should closing preparation wait until the agreement is complete?
REVIEW STRUCTURE
From scene facts to system revision
Central tension
Avoiding rework conflicts with avoiding late discovery of accountability and data gaps.
Current view
Because closing transfers funds, rights, control and risk, it requires an independent pre-signing workflow.
Stage outcome
The dual-track work surfaced cross-functional gaps earlier; the final transaction outcome remains open.
