What crosses your threshold waits for you
You set one number. Below it the agent pays on its own. Above it the payment stops and shows you what it is for, who is getting the money, and which rule stopped it.

You see what you are approving
Vendor, purpose, amount, which agent asked, and for a transfer the invoice number, the creditor account and the due date. If no document is attached, it says so instead of pretending there is one.
Two people cannot approve it twice
The check that nothing was decided yet and the decision itself happen in the same locked step. Whoever gets there first creates the payment; everyone else is told it has already been decided.
Declining is a record, not a deletion
A declined request stays in the audit log with the rule that produced it. The request that never became a payment is often the one you want to look at later.
Questions people ask about this
What sets the threshold?+
It is part of the mandate you sign with your passkey, next to the monthly budget and the per-payment ceiling. Changing it means signing again.
What happens while a payment waits?+
Nothing moves. The card stays frozen at €0 and the transfer is not created. The agent is told the request is held and why.
Can an agent approve its own request?+
No. Its token can request a payment and nothing else. Approval comes from a person in the dashboard.
