Artifact: Autonomy-vs-Alignment Calibration — Jordan and Alex

Two reports calibrated to different delegation levels, each justified by a specific readiness signal -- exercises co-08, co-04. Everline and every name here are fictional; every detail is an illustrative, constructed example.

Jordan -- high autonomy: readiness signal -- three consecutive quarters of design proposals that survived review with only minor changes, plus a caching decision made independently and correctly. Delegation approach: Jordan gets the what-and-why brief and picks the how with no required check-in; Priya reviews outcomes after the fact, not the approach in advance.

Alex -- more direction, for now: readiness signal -- a recent validation-placement question needed three coaching questions to resolve, and this is still Alex's first two-way architectural trade-off without a senior engineer pairing directly. Delegation approach: Alex gets the same what-and-why brief, plus a required design-review checkpoint before implementation starts -- not because Alex isn't capable, but because the evidence of independent judgment on this class of decision isn't there yet.
