+# Workflows – [Client Name]
+
+**Status:** Draft / Human Review / Locked  
+**Last Updated:** YYYY-MM-DD  
+**Reviewed by:**  
+**Source Requirements:** Link to locked Requirements document
+
+## Purpose
+Define the operational sequences that fulfill each accepted requirement.  
+Still no agents or tools — only human-and-system steps, decision points, frequency, and data flows.  
+Every workflow must stay inside the pricing band the client approved.
+
+## Workflows
+
+### Workflow ID: W-001
+- **Linked Requirement ID:** R-00X
+- **Pricing Band:** A / B / C
+- **Trigger Condition:** (what starts this workflow)
+- **Step Sequence:**
+  1. Agent detects signal and drafts alert
+  2. Human reviews draft
+  3. Human approves / rejects / requests revision
+  4. Action follows (or is deferred)
+- **Data Dependencies:** (what source it reads, what artifact it writes)
+- **Failure Path:** (what happens if data is stale or signal is ambiguous)
+- **Cadence:** Continuous / Daily / Weekly / Event-triggered
+- **Speculative?** Yes / No
+- **Human Decision:** Accepted / Modified / Rejected / Deferred
+

+
+## Human Review Gate
+- [ ] Every workflow is linked to an accepted Requirement ID
+- [ ] Every workflow stays within the client’s approved pricing band
+- [ ] Draft → human review → lock gate is explicit in the step sequence
+- [ ] Cadence has been checked against the client’s real operating hours
+- [ ] Failure paths are defined
+- [ ] Human has recorded a decision on each workflow
+
+Once this gate is signed off, the Workflows document is **Locked** and Layer 6 (Agent Build & Test) may begin.
