Rules it was built with
- Each permit application must include submission and decision timestamps.
- Application outcomes must be categorized as approved, rejected, or pending.
- Processing staff roles are anonymized but tracked for workflow optimization.
- Digital-only applications must have at least one remote reviewer assigned.
- Applications missing required documentation are automatically flagged.
