Artifact: Influence-Without-Authority Plan — Schema-Registry Adoption

A plan to win a peer team's buy-in with no reporting line into them -- exercises co-17. Everline and every name here are fictional; every number is an illustrative, constructed example.

What Priya wants: Data Science adopts the same schema-registry contract-testing tooling Platform already uses, so schema changes on either side get caught before they break the other team's pipeline.

The shared incentive named: Data Science was paged twice last month for pipeline failures caused by an undocumented schema change Platform made -- Morgan's team is already paying the cost of the exact problem this proposal fixes; this isn't a favor being asked of Morgan, it's a shared problem with a shared fix.

The ask, framed around that incentive: "Your team got paged twice last month because of an undocumented schema change on our side. If both teams adopt the same contract-testing check, that stops happening to either of us -- I'll pair with whoever on your team owns this to get it set up against your existing pipeline first, so it costs your team close to nothing to adopt."
