- Holds Tech Leads accountable to delivery commitments and design completion. Gut-checks estimates and engages with project designs, plans, and scope definitions to identify execution and schedule risk
- Holds partial accountability for burn charts—does not own them outright but is responsible for ensuring they accurately reflect project health

- Identifies technical and schedule risks across projects; partners with Tech Leads on mitigation strategies before issues escalate
