  "body": "Document the repeated behavior, its effect on the work, prior repair attempts and the specific support or decision needed. Leave motive claims out unless independently evidenced.",
  "limits": [
    "Psychological safety does not mean agreement, low standards or protection from consequences. Keep respectful challenge separate from unaccountable behavior."

    "When collaboration behavior itself threatens delivery but personal accusations would make repair harder."

  "example": "The escalation says approvals repeatedly arrive after the agreed window and block testing; it does not claim another team is sabotaging the project.",
