## About the role

As a Team, we can answer common questions about what a capability is, where it belongs, and what it should be called without requiring a bespoke review meeting. Our shared decisions include clear ownership, rationale, and examples, along with a defined path to revisit them as products and models evolve. The HIG is embraced across participating product groups and is reflected consistently in both human-readable guidance and encoded rules.
