Structure/Roles/Labs Coordinator]]. 2. **Coordinator Approval** - The [[OpenCivics Network/Labs/constitution_202508300849-draft/2. Structure/Roles/Labs Coordinator]] reviews the request. For amounts under a defined threshold (e.g., $500), the Coordinator can approve the spending directly from the [[OpenCivics Network/Labs/constitution_202508300849-draft/2. Structure/Assets/Labs Project Budget]]. 3. **Manager Verification** - For amounts over the threshold, the request must be escalated to a [[OpenCivics Network/Labs/constitution_202508300849-draft/2. Structure/Roles/Labs Manager]] for verification and approval.
