Review

Design Stop 5

Review is where a contract gets a second set of eyes before it leaves a stage — the paths, methods, status codes, and schema checked against the policy, in person or self-service. I have stopped treating the review as the place I make teams comply. The job is to conduct the review, surface the findings, and capture the provenance: the conversation happened, the decision got recorded, and whoever chose to defer owns that on the record with a reason attached.
