Why plan a specialist judgment service rather than embed specialists?#
There are not enough of them. Embed a security architect in every team and they sit idle in some while others go without. Planning their decision time as a service, our adaptation of Team Topologies' complicated-subsystem team, exposes a shared bottleneck that agent counts hide: the queue for the one security architect appears in no measure of machine capacity.
Why does the brief matter so much to a specialist judgment service?#
Specialist time is the scarcest input in the system, and an unprepared question spends it twice: once rebuilding context, once answering. A prepared brief, shaped like a decision queue item, lets a specialist answer far faster. Legal, security and architecture review then become a service missions can plan around.
