Establish what is happening
Inventory the review work
List pending items, decision type, scope, due point, evidence quality, dependency, and required expertise. Remove duplicate requests from the comparison without changing the source records or hiding unresolved decisions. Record which pending decisions cannot move safely without this reviewer’s authority or expertise.
Classify urgency and depth
Separate decisions that block a release or severe outcome from routine review, discovery, and informational input. Record where the reviewer is uniquely authoritative and where another qualified role can evaluate the same bounded question.
Set a redistribution boundary
Assign items to alternate reviewers, narrow a review question, schedule a decision window, or escalate a capacity choice. Preserve the original reviewer’s required signoff where policy or authority makes it necessary.
What to carry forward
The output is a review queue map with urgency, expertise boundary, reassignment or narrowing action, and preserved required approvals. Stop triage when each item has a next review path; do not treat unreviewed work as approved merely to reduce the queue.
Keep the decision with the work.
Use a Work Item in Aglet to record the problem, the evidence you have, and the next decision. Add an owner and priority, then keep updates in the discussion so the next person can follow the reasoning.
