• Return incomplete or incorrectly structured data for correction.
• Recommend naming, storage and workflow improvements.
• Pause equipment use when quality or safety conditions are not met.
• Escalate configuration conflicts, controlled-data changes and design concerns.

Managerial authorities

• Source external suppliers.

What do you need to succeed?
