A practical guide to team review workflows for Polymarket desks in TEMIRIN using configured records, explicit market identity, current controls, and human review.

A small Polymarket desk should assign ownership to concrete records: configured sources, watchlist markets, evidence review, in-app decisions, paper requests, alert destinations, public-wallet snapshots, journal notes, and exports. One person may hold several responsibilities, but each handoff needs a named record, expected action, due context, and accountable workspace member. “Research is watching it” is not enough for another reviewer to continue safely.
Start with the minimum role map the team can maintain. Name who can change source configuration, curate the watchlist, inspect protected portfolio context, record approve or reject decisions, enter paper values, retry an alert delivery, and export journal data. Workspace authorization remains authoritative even when desk convention says someone normally performs a task. Membership and role changes should trigger an immediate review of these assignments.
Source owners monitor canonical references, refresh state, collection failures, duplicate patterns, and provider configuration. Evidence reviewers open the stored material and judge its relevance to the exact contract. Destination owners investigate external alert attempts and retries. These responsibilities can belong to one teammate, but the records should remain separate so a missed message is not diagnosed as missing evidence and a failed source is not mistaken for a delivery outage.
Provider-dependent Telegram and X readers require configured server credentials; external email, Telegram, Slack, and webhook alerts require their supported providers and workspace destinations. A desk handoff should state which connection supplied the evidence and which destination received a notice. Review decisions remain in the authenticated workspace. Transport success should never be used as a substitute for an attributable approve or reject record.
Every handoff should carry the explicit market and outcome identifiers, exact question, close time, and resolution authority rather than a shortened title copied from chat. Evidence belongs beside a review record only through the supported explicit identifier. The receiving analyst should reopen the contract before adding a note or paper request, especially when several markets cover similar events with different thresholds or date windows.
Include the preserved trigger price and a separately time-stamped current price whenever ownership changes. Public bid, ask, spread, and visible depth can help the next reviewer understand observed market conditions, but they do not promise an available transaction price. If a field is missing or stale, say so in the handoff. A concise gap statement is safer than silently copying an older value.
A public wallet address is observable, yet combining its positions with private theses, team decisions, and review timing creates sensitive workspace context. Limit snapshot and export access to members whose responsibilities require it. Retain the address observation time, visible position coverage, concentration denominator, and known gaps so reviewers do not treat one supported snapshot as the desk’s complete capital picture.
Define who may change source and category states, stake cap or maximum-stake overrides, confidence setting, free-capital percentage, price-move guard, and kill switch. Important changes need actor and time in the audit history. Reviewers should see the applicable policy reason without gaining configuration authority. A verbal instruction in a meeting should be reflected in the authenticated setting before teammates rely on it.
An in-app approve or reject action records the authenticated actor, opportunity, time, and note. A paper order is a separate action in which a user supplies direction, paper price, and notional. Retain per-order, rolling twenty-four-hour, per-market exposure, and portfolio-concentration results with that simulation. A teammate can inspect the response later, but should not change its original inputs or imply that the decision created the paper record.
Configured alert destinations add delivery attempts, errors, and manual retry history. They do not carry decision authority. When an analyst receives a Telegram, email, Slack, or webhook notice, the handoff should direct them back to the protected workspace record. Keeping transport, decision, and simulation times distinct lets support determine which stage failed and prevents a message thread from becoming an unaudited source of truth.
Choose a periodic sample containing a source failure, unlinked evidence item, watchlist admission, price update, in-app decision, failed alert attempt, blocked paper request, public-wallet snapshot, and journal export. Trace identifiers, timestamps, workspace roles, notes, and safe reasons through each surface. Include work that ended with no action so the audit reflects the actual review funnel rather than only completed simulations.
Turn discrepancies into owned fixes: clarify a handoff field, revoke an obsolete destination, correct a role, replace a weak source, or strengthen the market-identity checklist. Preserve the original audit evidence and assign the change prospectively. TEMIRIN provides the current workspace records and controls; each desk remains responsible for source verification, access discipline, eligibility, risk tolerance, and every real action outside the paper workflow.
Name owners for source operations, watchlist curation, evidence review, in-app decisions, paper entries, alert destinations, public-wallet context, and governed journal exports.
Include exact market and outcome identifiers, evidence references, trigger and current observation times, the current note, applicable policy facts, and the requested next action.
Use the authenticated workspace so the actor, time, opportunity, and note remain attributable. External notification channels carry review notices and transport history only.
