lead-transformation-roadmap — L9 Pattern

For large enterprise transformations, this skill uses the Dual-Strong Research pattern:

1. Fan-out: 2× GPT-4.1 + 1× GPT-5 mini (free)
2. First synthesis: GPT-5.4
3. Final synthesis: Claude Sonnet 4.6

This is only warranted for L9-level (full-organisation) transformation plans. For team-level, cheap model suffices.

OKR Design Output

**Objective**: Improve deployment reliability

**Key Results**:
- KR1: Reduce MTTR from 4h to 30min (Q2)
- KR2: Achieve 99.9% deployment success rate (Q3)
- KR3: 0 P0 incidents caused by deployment process (Q3)

**Leading indicators**: deployment frequency, change fail rate, rollback time
