🎯 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]
