Empower Justin to own RLC 9.7/9.6 LTS ship criteria

January 23, 2026 at 11:32 PMoperationalhigh

Situation

Justin will define and own the ship criteria for RLC 9.7 and 9.6 LTS releases. He will create a 5-point launch checklist and share it with Brady for approval, bypassing Product inability to provide a clear definition of done.

Reasoning

Justin was blocked by information overload from multiple PRDs - Product was not converging on a single clear checklist. Shipping over perfection is the priority - the company biggest problem is obscurity, not imperfection. Engineering can learn from shipping and iterate. This also establishes precedent that if Product cannot define done, Engineering will fill the vacuum.

Additional Context

RLC 9.7 and 9.6 LTS are already built but unreleased. The only remaining technical tasks are pushing the release file and images. Brady will send a single definitive document to serve as the sole release checklist.
