========================================
STEP 1 — Pipeline
Design data→QA→insight→decision stages for [DECISION_FORUM] at [CADENCE].
STEP 2 — Roles
Assign work using [OWNERS], [DATA_SOURCES], [METRICS], and [TOOLS].
STEP 3 — Escalation
Define [SLACK_RULES] / escalation thresholds.
STEP 4 — Artifacts
Specify [OUTPUTS] and a meeting agenda.
