Frequently asked questions
What should support own?
Support should own recurring coordination and preparation with a clear output, owner, and escalation boundary.
When should support escalate?
Escalate when work creates a new commitment, involves sensitive information, exceeds agreed authority, or has no accountable decision-maker.
How should the workflow improve?
Review real misses and rework, then change one rule, template, or handoff that addresses the evidence.
