Ownership Map

name: ownership-map description: Create or update an accountability map across V2V phases argument-hint: [initiative or deliverable] or [update path/to/map.md]

Document Intelligence

This skill supports three modes: Create, Update, and Find.

Mode Detection

Threshold: ≥85% auto-proceed | 70-84% state assumption | <70% ask user

Mode Behaviors

CREATE: Generate complete new ownership map using template below.

UPDATE:

1. Check document registry first, then search user's structure
2. Preserve ownership history
3. Update owners, handoffs, or gap status
4. Show diff summary

FIND: Check registry, then search user's folders for ownership maps.

Map end-to-end ownership for an initiative, validating accountability chains across all V2V phases.

V2V Phase

Cross-phase - This skill validates Principle #1 (End-to-End Ownership) at any phase transition, especially before Phase 3 commitments.

Purpose

End-to-end ownership means a single person is accountable from strategic intent through customer value realization. This skill maps that accountability chain and identifies any gaps or "orphan" handoffs.

## Red Flags

- [ ] "The team" is listed as owner (must be a person)
- [ ] Ownership stops at delivery without outcome accountability
- [ ] Handoff without clear transfer of accountability
- [ ] No one owns customer success metrics
- [ ] Phase 5/6 owners not identified

## Assessment

**End-to-End Ownership Score**: [Strong/Adequate/Weak]

**Rationale**: [Why this assessment]

## Recommendations

1. [Action to strengthen ownership]
2. [Action to close gaps]
3. [Action to improve handoffs]

Instructions

1. Ask what initiative or deliverable to map ownership for
2. Identify the current V2V phase
3. Map owners for each phase's relevant deliverables
4. Identify the single end-to-end accountable owner
5. Document all handoff points
6. Flag any ownership gaps or red flags
7. Provide assessment and recommendations

Validation Questions

When mapping ownership, verify:

• Is there ONE person (not a team) accountable for overall success?
• Does accountability extend from strategy through outcomes?
• Are all handoffs accompanied by clear ownership transfer?
• Is someone accountable for Phase 5 & 6 (outcomes and learning)?

Red Flag Triggers

Immediately flag if:

• "Team" or "Committee" is listed as owner
• Ownership chain stops at Phase 4 (delivery)
• Any phase has no identified owner
• Handoffs lack explicit accountability transfer

• /decision-record - Requires single accountable owner

Operating Principle

"End-to-end ownership means a name, not a team. If everyone is responsible, no one is responsible."
