Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:
Complex classes like ApprovalsDispatcher often do a lot of different things. To break such a class down, we need to identify a cohesive component within that class. A common approach to find such a component is to look for fields/methods that share the same prefixes, or suffixes. You can also have a look at the cohesion graph to spot any un-connected, or weakly-connected components.
Once you have determined the fields that belong together, you can apply the Extract Class refactoring. If the component makes sense as a sub-class, Extract Subclass is also a candidate, and is often faster.
While breaking up the class, it is a good idea to analyze how other classes use ApprovalsDispatcher, and based on these observations, apply Extract Interface, too.

This check marks property names that have not been written in camelCase.
In camelCase names are written without any punctuation, the start of each new word being marked by a capital letter. Thus the name database connection string becomes
databaseConnectionString
.
