- Establish a reliability operating model that clarifies service ownership, operational expectations, and decision-making around reliability tradeoffs for product engineering teams
- Overhaul key stages of the incident lifecycle to achieve faster detection, sharper triage, richer context retrieval, clearer communication, and stronger follow-through
- Command high-severity incidents as Incident Commander and reinforce the systems, tools, and practices that simplify incident management
- Design and implement workflows in which AI assists with alert correlation, signal enrichment, root-cause exploration, runbook retrieval, postmortem drafting, and corrective-action tracking
- Ensure AI-assisted incident workflows remain reviewable, auditable, and safe by requiring human verification at all critical steps and maintaining clear operational ownership with humans accountable for final decisions
