The relevant follow-up is: Require technical and sustainability owners to jointly validate exceptions before procurement proceeds.
Have the release authority withhold cutover until shared prerequisites and recovery tests pass. That safeguard does not address the specific risk here: labeling engineering evidence as resistance to sustainability blocks a defensible tradeoff. The relevant follow-up is: Require technical and sustainability owners to jointly validate exceptions before procurement proceeds.
