Define the workflow first
- Authority source: Can you identify who granted this authority and the evidence behind it?
- Action and limits: Are the permitted action, resource and limits explicit?
- Human approval: Is it clear which actions require a named human approver?
- Expiry: Is there an expiry date or a defined review event?
- Revocation: Can the relying party check whether authority has ended before acting?
- Decision evidence: Can you reconstruct the authority and policy checked for an accepted action?

Suggested next step: review the source evidence and one narrowly scoped workflow with its owner.
