RESF — Orchestrated demand-pull approach for CIQ help

Situation

Directed that CIQ help should come through RESF team requests (especially Taylor/Sherif) rather than being imposed from above. Reinforced 'CIQ will help if you ask' messaging through Greg and Leigh. Wants RESF work driven like a project with visibility into requests.

Reasoning

Solving a political problem, not just a resource problem. Taylor and Sherif have been complaining about CIQ coming in uninvited — pushing more resources in would reinforce their narrative and create resistance. Getting them to request help neutralizes the 'CIQ takeover' complaint, creates ownership (they asked, so they can't resist), builds a paper trail that RESF invited CIQ involvement, and sets the political foundation for Tuesday's formal structure meeting.

Additional Context

Greg wanted to push help through Leigh immediately. Peter redirected — prefers it come from Taylor/Sherif themselves. Groundwork already laid: Dieter engaged, Leigh aware, Mustafa coached. This is about getting political alignment right before Tuesday's formal meeting with Greg/Bjorn/Max.

Observed Evidence

Peter told Greg: 'I would almost prefer it come from Taylor/Sherif... because they are the ones who have been complaining about CIQ coming in un-asked.' Also: 'For now I just need them to keep getting CIQ will help if you ask messaging reinforced.' And: 'I just want to ensure the work on the RESF side is being driven like a project.' Told Leigh resources are available and to request freely.
