The answer
Simulated answer. Written for this fictional case, not produced by a live model. Only the figures in it are computed, from what you decided above.
3 of 6 agreed actions are overdue, by 171 days in all.
The log shows the owner and the date each action was agreed [S1][S2]. One action is nearly four months late with no update, and another is late because it waits on a decision nobody has taken: those need different responses.
You have chosen to chase 0 owners (0 days overdue) and to re-date 0 with a reason (0); 3 are undecided. Re-dating without a reason is how an action becomes permanent.
Relies on: S1 · Board action logS2 · Board terms of reference
Review and approval
The company secretary with the chair decides. Approving sends the chase notes and re-dating reasons to the owners and the committee. It does not close any action.
Not ready to approve. 3 flagged actions are still undecided. Confirm or dismiss each one first.
In the product this is a different person with the right permission. Here you play that role to see the rule.
