Planning guidance

Turn dates into a submission workflow

Assign an internal owner to every deadline at least six weeks before the official date. For each candidate entry, track category fit, evidence readiness, asset completeness, client approval status, and budget approval. If a milestone carries a fee, use it as a forcing function for the slate review rather than waiting for the final submission date.
