Signals
- ⚠ broad multi-function mandate (Finance, LCRA, Marketing, People, Gov Affairs) risks diffuse accountability
- ✓ CFO-aligned mandate signals executive buy-in and clear near-term priority
- ✓ outcome-based success metrics (productivity, forecast accuracy, cost) indicate mature program governance
