2) Ownership map

Assign planning, production, QA, and measurement owners. Publish the map where the team already works.

• criteria rubric versioning (delivery gate)
• buyer persona fit notes (review gate)

4) Delivery rhythm

5) Learning loop

Compare planned vs actual every week. Keep, fix, or stop. Do not expand while version/date freshness stamp is failing.

Software Reviews teams lose time when persona work is reactive. Under limited specialist bandwidth, ad-hoc execution creates rework and weak signal quality.
