# Daily operating queue

> Run the day by operational risk, owner accountability, and decision readiness.

The daily operating queue is the control surface for work that can slip: buyer commitments, shipment movement, PO processing, approvals, customer updates, and owner handoffs. It reduces status chasing by showing the risk, evidence, owner, and next recommended move in one place.

## Start-of-day risk pass

<div className="ubik-steps">
  <div className="ubik-step"><span>01 · Rank exposure</span> Start with items that can affect customer promises, margin, clearance, cash timing, or supplier reliability.</div>
  <div className="ubik-step"><span>02 · Inspect source</span> Review the evidence behind the recommendation before acting on it.</div>
  <div className="ubik-step"><span>03 · Decide route</span> Approve, edit, assign, wait, escalate, or reject based on authority and missing context.</div>
  <div className="ubik-step"><span>04 · Leave no silent blockers</span> End the pass with each blocked item assigned, explained, or rejected.</div>
</div>

## Priority signals

## Blocked work

Blocked items should not sit silently in the queue. Assign the owner, add missing context, route the decision to the right reviewer, or reject the recommendation so the trail stays clean.

## End-of-day check

Before closing the day, review assigned and blocked work. The goal is not inbox zero; the goal is no invisible operational risk.
