Hand the Dawson document-noise complaint back to Justin with an instruction - be done with subtle

Situation

Justin DMed Peter that Brian Dawson AI-generated document output is an increasing source of wasted time for more people than just him, attached the RLC Pro HPC specification document and a related Jira bug, and closed with no direct ask for you, just awareness. Peter declined that framing, asked whether working it from my side meant being very clear with Brian, got Justin admission that it meant being polite and probably too subtle, and answered - be done with subtle.

Reasoning

Justin was routing a peer problem upward while describing himself as already handling it, which usually means the handling is not working. Peter diagnosed the failure as delivery rather than substance - he took no position on whether the documents are actually poor, going straight to whether Justin had said so plainly. The informal polite channel has a track record of failing here, so the answer is a different instrument rather than more of the same. Peter also declined to intervene himself, which is the substantive half of the decision.

Additional Context

Landed roughly fifty minutes after Peter spent half an hour disagreeing with Dawson directly in the Brian and Brady sync and closed that conversation by checking it had not felt combative. He is asking Justin to have the conversation he had just modelled having. Runs alongside the earlier choice to route the RLC-AI driver override through Bjorn rather than overrule Dawson publicly - same person, same instinct to keep corrections out of venues that humiliate.
