Other roles

Same structure, different seat.

For CTOs

Architecture health for the board, AI governance risk, when to escalate.

For CSOs

Security conformance, audit preparation and agent risk.

For Chief architects

Lens authoring, conformance review and blocked-PR triage.

For Product owners

Delivery predictability and design approval timing.

For SREs

Architectural risk, incident root cause and agent drift signals.

For Engineers
