Matter Management
Every matter as a structured record: status, quotes, conflict-gate result, approval state, and the full event timeline.
What it does
A matter is the unit of work. Scope holds each one with its status, jurisdiction, adverse parties, quotes or bids returned, award state, deliverables, and the conflict-check result.
Your AI can list matters in flight, open one for full detail, reschedule an engagement, and award a vendor. A morning briefing buckets everything by what needs your decision, what is awaiting a vendor, what is scheduled, and what recently completed.
When a dispatch exceeds a firm threshold, Scope holds it in a pending-approval state with the triggering rule and the approver recorded, rather than awarding silently.
Why it matters
The matter record is the source of truth a procurement or finance team can audit. Nothing happens off the record, and the conflict gate result is captured for OCG and Rule 1.7 review.
The approval hold means high-value dispatches get a human in the loop without slowing down the routine ones.
