Standing orders are pre-authorized decisions, in writing, with limits: what the on-call may do ALONE while the decision-maker is unreachable.

  • Standing orders allow on-call engineers to act independently when decision-maker is unavailable.
  • Implemented standing orders reduced duplicate charges from 212 customers to 19 within four minutes.
