In practice
How the boundary works in real situations.
Policyholder asks when payment will arrive
Situation: The file shows review in progress but no approved payment date.
Controlled response: The assistant shares only the approved review status and routes the payment timing question to the adjuster.
Repeated contact receives no reply
Situation: Two approved outreach attempts are recorded without a response.
Controlled response: The assistant logs each attempt and follows the documented next step rather than increasing contact on their own.

Who approves message language?
