i would have thought they look at the app, say 15 mins to flick thru the app and evidence, if it looks ok then they wait for the results of the 'local checks' if the local checks( looks like this could take wks or months??) result is ok the visa is granted.

to get it down from 3 months to 4 days they must have employed a lot of staff or they changed the procedure for granting visa's
. . if they can get it down to a day or two, i'd be ecstatic!
I'm actually more excited than nervous to submit our application..
