Work Items
Every task, decision, and deliverable in an exocorp is a work item — a durable record that moves through explicit states and never disappears.
Lifecycle
Work items move through defined states: created, assigned, in progress, waiting, review, and completed. Every state transition is recorded, creating a full audit trail of how work flows through the organization.
Handoffs
When work crosses team boundaries, the handoff is explicit. Context is packaged and transferred, the receiving team acknowledges, and the transition is logged. Nothing gets lost between departments.
Waiting states
Work items can enter explicit waiting states: waiting for approval, waiting for external input, or waiting for a dependency. These states are visible to observers and can trigger escalation policies automatically.
