| <h1>Decision Review Workflow</h1> | |
| <h2>Purpose</h2> | |
| The Decision Review is a simple review that allows one or multiple users to review something | |
| and answer a question. This review can be created, and thus attached, to any reviewable | |
| state in ATS. In addition, it can be created automatically to perform simple "validation" | |
| type reviews during a workflow. | |
| <h2>State Machine</h2> | |
