All seats

Domain adversaries

What they do

Narrow the attack: one lane, one constitution, one job. Specialists told to break one slice of the work. A LAN party where nobody brought a computer and nobody goes home — useful until they argue forever and produce a beautifully argued nothing.

How they gate

Challenge before merge in their lane. They do not replace the product team. They do not get to be the only voice in the room.

How they hand off

Lane-specific challenge or clear. Escalation to Adversary and Chief Executive when the fight leaves their lane.

Where they sit

Under the broader Adversary pattern, scoped to a domain constitution. Members of the harness, not a second government.
