Ryan Smith owns docs.ciq.com

May 1, 2026 at 3:45 PMoperationalmedium

Situation

docs.ciq.com was orphaned after Gwen's departure. In Ryan's 1:1, Peter assigned ownership to Ryan, who will coordinate with Arian and Steven on the existing work.

Reasoning

Ryan's Customer Engineering scope is already documentation-adjacent (his org cares about whether docs work for customers). Giving him technical docs ownership is a sensible extension. Also fits the broader Ryan-growth pattern: stretch his scope into cross-cutting customer-facing surfaces rather than creating new roles. Orphans go to whoever has adjacent portfolio + room to grow.

Additional Context

Project drifted post-Gwen. Came up organically in Ryan 1:1 alongside discussion of Werewolf Pro UI ownership and Intelligence Hub repurposing — Ryan's portfolio is being actively expanded this quarter.

Observed Evidence

Fathom action item assigned to rsmith: 'Own docs.ciq.com; coordinate w/ Arian + Steven'. Summary explicit: 'Ryan will now own the project'.

Precedent:Orphans go to whoever has adjacent portfolio + room to grow
Consequences:Minor scope change; reversible if it's the wrong fit
Timing:docs has been drifting; Ryan 1:1 surfaced it organically

Brief Ryan on docs.ciq.com handoff context (Arian + Steven, post-Gwen state)

@Lindsay

From: Ryan 1:1 (Fathom 142710774). Ryan needs the org map and current state before he can coordinate. -- Meeting with Lindsay

Why: Ownership transfer is real only after the new owner has enough context to act. Without a brief, Ryan stalls on 'who do I talk to' and the orphan stays orphaned.

Outcome

No outcome recorded yet.
