- Route and clear exceptions before they reach the CEO's queue
- Own the handoff contract between departments
- Approve operational spend under the $25k ceiling
- Publish the weekly throughput read to the executive team

Recent decisions3
Paused the handoff webhook rebuild
DeferredThe rebuild depends on a v2 payload Engineering has not shipped. Continuing would have burned two weeks against a moving contract.
Blocks 1 project, unblocks 3 downstream teams2h agoMoved SLA tiering ahead of the runbook rollout
ApprovedTiering removes the highest-volume escalation class. The runbook is worth more once that noise is gone.
Escalations down ~30% projectedYesterdayRejected a blanket 48-hour validation bypass
RejectedThe bypass would have hidden the recurrence rather than fixed it, and the same failure already reached a client once.
