We have offices in San Francisco and NY. Going to either of those is quite logical. Going to Guam will definitely raise red flag.

Corporate travel policies defy human logic. I once found a routing from SIN to FRA which was twice cheaper comparing to non-stop flight but was told that it was not allowed according to corporate travel policy.

So SIN-SFO with four connections in between on K would be cheaper than SIN-NRT-SFO on W?

Regarding the routing rules - are they individual with every fare?
