Project teams have no real-time visibility into which client requests are actually blocked

Teams use status fields like 'Waiting on Client' but lack automatic tracking of how long requests have been stuck waiting, who specifically needs to respond, and which blockers have been waiting longest. This causes urgent client requests to get buried while teams wait indefinitely for responses they forgot to follow up on.
