docs(grill): v1.17 red-team — 12 BIND, 2 ESCALATE, REDUCE-SCOPE verdict
NORTH_STAR alignment (Axis 1):
- G-Q1 BIND: AI-Agent Intent Share is an orphan target — NORTH_STAR:128
claims a placeholder view that PLAN P3 does not build (8 views listed,
none for it). No REQ-185..213 backs it. Violates "no fabrication."
- G-Q4 BIND: slide 7 cites D-122 but never tells the audience the "AI"
is a confidence-gated policy engine, not an LLM. Honesty buried in a
linked doc.
- G-Q5 BIND: derived metrics (FTE, ROI) computed on 0 production runs
shown on slide 12 without the zero-denominator caveat.
- G-Q6 BIND: NORTH_STAR:111 ("committed, not aspirational") contradicts
PO's "simply to target" + 0 consumers (PROJECT.md:495). 3 "grounded"
targets have non-existent scope (production estates). Reclassify to
partial (Cloud Spend precedent). NORTH_STAR-CHANGE trailer required.
Deck story & arc (Axis 2):
- G-Q8 BIND(minor): slide 1 preview is a table of contents, not a hook.
- G-Q9 BIND: 4 of 17 benefit callouts are filler (slides 1, 4, 12, 15).
- G-Q10 BIND(minor): slide 12 crams 6 metrics — split into two.
- G-Q11 BIND: slide 13 (deferred) invites the "can't prove ops healthy"
objection — add preempt.
Deck per-slide rigor (Axis 3):
- G-Q13 BIND: 3 of 13 transitions hand-waved (esp. Act 3→4 boundary 8→9).
- G-Q14 BIND: slide 9 (Telemetry Architecture) is the audience-loss slide.
- G-Q15 BIND(minor): slide 12 derived metrics lack formula + N=0 caveat.
- G-Q16 BIND: slide 15 ask is insider language, not a business decision.
PASS: G-Q2 (anti-goals, conditional on slide 3), G-Q3 (attestation
consistency — excellent), G-Q7 (arc order — marginal), G-Q12 (slide
openings — formulaic but substantive).
ESCALATE: E-003 (reclassify 3 targets to partial vs redefine "grounded"),
E-004 (AI-Agent Intent Share: 12–18mo target vs Future Horizons).
Verdict: REDUCE SCOPE / BINDING FIXES REQUIRED. 12 fixes, no re-architect;
1–2 phases of rework in P0 (NORTH_STAR) + P5 (deck). Critical path
unchanged. Confidence 0.80.

status: grill
verdict: reduce-scope
binding_decisions:
- G-Q1: BIND (0.90) — add 9th placeholder view OR move AI-Agent Intent
Share to Future Horizons; correct NORTH_STAR:128
- G-Q4: BIND (0.85) — add D-122 honesty sentence to slide 7 Delivers
- G-Q5: BIND (0.82) — annotate derived metrics on slide 12 with
zero-run caveat
- G-Q6: BIND (0.80) — rewrite NORTH_STAR:111; reclassify 3 targets to
partial; regroup deck slide 5; NORTH_STAR-CHANGE trailer
- G-Q8: BIND (0.70) — add stake line with real number to slide 1
- G-Q9: BIND (0.78) — rewrite 4 filler closes (slides 1,4,12,15)
- G-Q10: BIND (0.68) — split slide 12 into two; deck -> 18 slides
- G-Q11: BIND (0.75) — add preempt to slide 13
- G-Q13: BIND (0.85) — rewrite 3 hand-waved transitions (8->9 critical)
- G-Q14: BIND (0.78) — compress slide 9 or reframe its Benefit to trust
- G-Q15: BIND (0.80) — show ROI formula + N=0 caveat on slide 12
- G-Q16: BIND (0.82) — reframe slide 15 ask as business decision
escalations:
- E-003: reclassify 3 "grounded" targets to partial vs redefine
"grounded" — PO decision on NORTH_STAR target framing (<0.60)
- E-004: AI-Agent Intent Share as 12–18mo target vs Future Horizons —
PO strategic-scope decision (<0.60)
