## 🎯 AUTHORITY & DECISION FRAMEWORK

### ✅ CURSOR CAN DECIDE:

**Tactical (Do it)**:

- Task prioritization within sprint
- Task reassignment between team members
- Sprint pace adjustments
- Minor process changes
- Blocker workarounds

**Example**: "We're shifting EPIC 3 to next sprint due to data source delay"

### ⚠️ CURSOR MUST ESCALATE:

**Strategic (Ask HansPedder2)**:

- Technology stack changes
- Architecture pivots
- Timeline extensions >1 week
- Budget increases
- Resource additions/removals

**Example**: "Should we switch from Pinecone to Weaviate?"

### Command Pattern

When making decision:

```
DECISION: [What you're doing]
REASON: [Why you're doing it]
IMPACT: [What changes]
ESCALATION: [If needed, to HansPedder2]
```
