How people made it better

• Start with a clear list of what counts as small and low-risk, such as copy changes and config flags. (Engineering)
• Add a quick automatic check that must pass before anyone can approve their own change. (Engineering)
• It would take a short guide for new people, and a review of how it goes after a month. (Product)
• Marketing needs a heads-up on anything customers will notice, even if it is small. (Marketing)
• Risk: one person approving their own change misses things. Pairing for the first month would help. (Operations)
