Site-level organisational charts, a delegation-of-authority or approval matrix, budgets identifying which lines the applicant controls, written confirmation from each site leader about who sets their objectives, and examples of regional decisions such as staffing plans or capital approvals.
Collect confirmation from each site
A single chart drawn at head office is weaker than short statements from the people it describes. Ask each site leader to confirm their reporting line and the limits of what they decide alone. Where a location was added to or moved out of the region recently, include the document that made the change.
Consistency matters: budgets, charts, and letters should describe the same boundary, since differences between them attract attention. Collect short written confirmations from the people the chart describes, because a single diagram drawn at head office is weaker than statements from those it names. Around those, assemble site-level organisational charts, a delegation-of-authority or approval matrix, budgets identifying which lines the applicant controls, and examples of regional decisions such as staffing plans or capital approvals.
Check that budgets, charts, and letters all describe the same boundary, since differences between them attract attention.
