# What is Approval Gate?

A checkpoint where a named person reviews and signs off before an AI tool, workflow or output is shared more widely or sent to a client. It keeps a person accountable for what goes out.

## In real work

The intake workflow stops at an approval gate, where Ben reads the AI-drafted advice letter and signs off before it reaches the client.
