trigger event
Sets things moving
A trigger event is an occurrence that sets something larger in motion—a catalyst that initiates a process, reaction, or sequence.
In finance, a trigger event might activate a clause in a contract or cause a market shift.
In psychology, it's an incident that provokes an emotional response or behavioral pattern.
In project management, it's a milestone that authorizes the next phase: The client's approval was the trigger event for production to begin.
