Evidence to inspect：Whether updates were timely and actionable, and how feedback changed the work.

Not a general stage requirement; when relevant, participates in peer support with guidance without owning organization-building outcomes.

Evidence to inspect：Check whether the role actually carries this duty and what the participation involved; lack of opportunity is insufficient evidence.

Turns feedback into an observable improvement on the next task and seeks help when stuck.

Evidence to inspect：Changes between attempts, feedback source, and effect of the adjustment.

Truthfully reports facts, errors, risks, and personal contribution; baseline obligations apply at every stage.

Evidence to inspect：Reporting, escalation, and correction when errors or uncertainty arise.

Evidence to inspect：Design trade-offs, diagnosis, tests, and operational feedback.

Maps component business rules to data, states, and interfaces, including exceptions and compatibility.

Evidence to inspect：Mapping from rules to models/interfaces, migration considerations, and exception cases.

Within a clear goal, compares value, cost, and timing, then adjusts a local plan using feedback.

Evidence to inspect：Option comparisons, acceptance measures, stop conditions, and reasons for plan changes.

Owns a feature or component end to end, from decomposition and dependency coordination to release feedback and verified fixes.

Evidence to inspect：Milestones, dependencies, release outcomes, rollback/fixes, and feedback follow-through.

Aligns dependencies and acceptance with product, design, and upstream/downstream partners; resolves routine disagreements.

Evidence to inspect：Partners, facts behind disagreements, agreements, and handoff outcomes.

When relevant, contributes through mentoring, review, or sharing; hiring, performance, and people management are not assumed.

Evidence to inspect：Authority, who was supported, actual contribution, and changes in the other person’s independence.

Checks whether a new method transfers through work outcomes and changes approach or investment when assumptions fail.

Evidence to inspect：Attempts, feedback, outcomes, and reasons for changing repeated effort.

Keeps commitments for owned components, surfaces risks early, and accurately describes personal and collaborators’ contributions.

Evidence to inspect：Risk timing, changed commitments, ownership, and corrective action.

Compares options in ambiguous or cross-component problems, resolves key constraints, and verifies evolution outcomes.

Evidence to inspect：Constraints, alternatives, validation, and signals guiding later evolution.

Clarifies cross-component concepts, rules, and ownership boundaries, then drives coherent, explainable model evolution.

Evidence to inspect：Semantic conflicts, decision rights, definitions, and compatibility choices.

Frames project problems and outcome hypotheses, proposes priorities and phases, and recommends pivots; resource decisions follow actual authority.

Evidence to inspect：Distinction between recommendation and decision, measures, investment, and pivot conditions.

Drives complex cross-component delivery, manages risk and change, and checks sustained post-launch outcomes.

Evidence to inspect：Risk handling, dependency changes, recovery plans, and sustained outcomes.

Secures cross-team commitments and decisions and resolves conflict without relying on reporting authority.

Evidence to inspect：Stakeholder interests and constraints, treatment of dissent, and how decisions were carried out.

Uses coaching, review, and delegation to help others own larger problems; formal people authority depends on the role.

Evidence to inspect：How others’ ownership changed, ongoing feedback, and alternative evidence of professional influence.

Tests judgments and disconfirming evidence under uncertainty, turning failure reviews into reusable follow-up practices.

Evidence to inspect：Initial assumptions, counterevidence, changes in judgment, and later practice changes.

Handles responsibility conflicts under pressure, protects factual attribution, and drives correction.

Evidence to inspect：Authority boundaries, risks affecting decisions, attribution evidence, and correction outcomes.

Provides deep judgment in a critical domain, resolves high-impact problems, and makes results reusable and evolvable.

Evidence to inspect：Domain constraints, key judgments, reuse, and long-term quality outcomes.

Resolves semantics and data contracts across important domains to support sound decisions and long-term evolution.

Evidence to inspect：Shared definitions, conflict resolution, compatibility, and adoption feedback.

Connects domain direction to long-term value and weighs investment, opportunity cost, and validation order; company-wide portfolio ownership is not assumed.

Evidence to inspect：Domain goals, alternative investments, staged validation, and stop conditions.

Improves delivery and operations in a critical domain or across teams, reducing reliance on individual heroics.

Evidence to inspect：Practice adoption, systemic bottleneck changes, and evidence teams can operate independently.

Helps multiple teams reach shared judgments and adoption paths while addressing migration cost and lasting disagreement.

Evidence to inspect：Participants, decision rights, adoption friction, and actual uptake.

Scales capability through specialist coaching, shared assets, standards, or developing owners; direct-team and formal succession duties depend on authority.

Evidence to inspect：Alternative evidence such as coaching, shared practice, complex problem solving, and reusable assets.

Tests domain assumptions and shares useful methods, validating learning through later decisions.

Evidence to inspect：Changed assumptions, external evidence, and transfer into practice.

Maintains factual, risk, and attribution boundaries in high-impact professional decisions and proposes sustainable corrections.

Evidence to inspect：Risk escalation, disputed evidence, conflicts of interest, and sustained correction.

Can discuss critical technical choices with experts, raise constraints and risk questions, and understand business consequences without implementing or reviewing every specialty in depth.

Evidence to inspect：How expert judgment is engaged, key assumptions are tested, and unsupported endorsement is avoided.

Identifies structural conflicts across domains and aligns experts on shared semantics, data definitions, and change ownership.

Evidence to inspect：Cross-domain conflicts, business consequences, shared definitions, and decision rights.

Combines direction and resources across teams within delegated authority and adjusts the portfolio based on outcomes; strategy and budget authority depend on mandate.

Evidence to inspect：Mandate, portfolio options, investment shifts, and business outcomes.

Evidence to inspect：Recurring problems, mechanism changes, adoption, and recurrence.

Within delegated authority, establishes upward information flow, checks on power, and correction paths for consequential decisions.

Evidence to inspect：Independent feedback, conflict-of-interest controls, decision review, and correction.
