• Perform Gap Analyses:
  Assess existing materials and discussions to identify documentation gaps, ensuring final outputs are complete and capable of supporting AI training and cross-team automation.

• Participate in Strategic Workshops & Offsites:
  Ideally attend a July in-person or virtual offsite with technical leadership to help align on draft templates and document priorities.
