First-proof benchmark narrative

Outcome framing

Benchmark success is measured by:

• Reduced time-to-first-proof for contributors.
• Increased SHIP-rate stability over rolling 7-run windows.
• Faster remediation on sustained NO-SHIP streaks via owner routing.

Narrative template

1. Baseline period: report initial SHIP/NO-SHIP mix and top failed steps.
2. Intervention period: list lane/policy/process changes.
3. Result period: report SHIP-rate, consecutive NO-SHIP trend, and escalation response time.
