  • Incident severity downgrade (Tech × Ops × Risk)

Synthesis suggestion

AI-generated harmonization moves, ready for adjudication.

"Three of your six highest-friction interfaces share the same root cause: the Technology × Operations Control seam owns nine overlapping decisions without a named arbiter. Naming a single Platform Operations Council with one accountable chair resolves an estimated 64% of weekly cross-team escalations."
