I suppose the framing of flirtation in the OP is necessarily different than something you may not even realize was happening until 2 weeks later because of the intention.
I don't really understand the flowchart but i see what you're saying. There's a point where both parties are aware that explicit flirting is happening and if that wasnt where OP wanted to take it there wouldn't be a question.
The amount of times I've had someone tell me I've been flirted with or thought about an interaction weeks later where "...wait were they flirting or just being nice?" Made me think OP was gonna go around complimenting people and seeing if they got a nice response...
