  • Every cap includes equality: an amount exactly at a cap uses that cap’s role. Amounts above the final cap use the final escalation role.
  • This is the policy you entered, not a recommended or universal approval policy. Use one currency and a consistent amount basis, including or excluding tax as your policy requires.
  • The tool assigns one review role. It does not approve spending, replace segregation-of-duties controls or grant a person system permissions.

The formula

Test caps from lowest to highest. An amount ≤ a cap uses that cap’s role. An amount above the final cap uses the final escalation role. All caps must increase strictly.
