Verify Justin Offered Bounty Work Broadly

January 11, 2026 at 5:44 PMoperationalmedium

Situation

Investigating whether Justin followed direction to offer bounty work opportunities to everyone. Greg believes it was not offered to Westley. Peter committed to verify this week.

Reasoning

When you give a direct report an instruction to offer opportunities broadly, you expect it to be executed. If Westley was not offered the bounty opportunity, thats a failure to follow direction. Fairness requires bounty opportunities be available to everyone who could contribute, not selectively offered. Trust but verify - putting verification on the list rather than accepting reports at face value.

Additional Context

Bounty program progressed work on Basel (done) and single binary build (few days out). Portal work underway with Alex. The question arose about whether Westley was offered the opportunity. Peter had explicitly told Justin to offer broadly.
