I note in your earlier description you commented that these reviews (whose value you doubt) take up AD time when they should be serving as managers. I note that many areas now routinely turn the primary review over to a directorate. The ADs decide how much careful combing they do after the directorate. That seems to enable the kind of delegating that can help, without mandating it, and without having rules that micro-manage how ADs do their job.
