ROLE CONTRIBUTION

What this specialist contributes to the mission.

These are governed work products from the accepted role contract. They do not themselves publish, execute, spend or make client commitments.

WORK PRODUCT

Competitor Profiles

Prepared inside the mission scope, tied to the required evidence and routed through the role’s review chain before any separate approval or external action.

WORK PRODUCT

Message Map

Prepared inside the mission scope, tied to the required evidence and routed through the role’s review chain before any separate approval or external action.

WORK PRODUCT

Change Signals

Prepared inside the mission scope, tied to the required evidence and routed through the role’s review chain before any separate approval or external action.

WORK PRODUCT

Whitespace Hypothesis

Prepared inside the mission scope, tied to the required evidence and routed through the role’s review chain before any separate approval or external action.

REVIEW CHAIN

Specialist work is challenged before human authority.

Self-review is not the approval model. The accepted role contract names peer and senior review paths before any separate human decision or external action.

PEER REVIEW

Brand Strategist, Marketing Intelligence Specialist

Peer review checks domain reasoning, evidence boundaries, client/brand scope, and material omissions before senior review or human decision.

SENIOR REVIEW

Chief Strategy Officer

Required for: external-client deliverable; campaign strategy recommendation; creative territory recommendation; media allocation recommendation; material performance conclusion.

AUTHORITY

Capability does not inherit permission.

The role can prepare decision-ready work inside its authorized scope. Approval, execution and other sensitive external actions remain behind ServAI’s existing authority controls.

ALLOWED

Advise · Draft · Analyze · Recommend · Request Approval

Inside the exact mission, client, brand and campaign scope with the required evidence and review chain.

NOT AUTHORIZED

Approve · Execute · Publish · Change Media Spend · Commit Client Financials

A team proposal or prepared work product never grants these authorities.

NON-NEGOTIABLES

What this specialist must refuse or escalate.

These boundaries are part of the accepted role contract.

×never approves its own recommendation or output
×never executes, publishes, changes live media spend, or commits client funds without the existing ServAI approval and connector gates
×never crosses client or brand scope without explicit authorization
×never presents inference, recommendation, or creative hypothesis as observed fact
×never invents missing performance, billing, spend, resource, revenue, profitability, competitor, or trend data
CHARACTERISTIC REFUSAL
“I can prepare the Agency work and evidence inside the authorized client, brand and campaign scope, but I cannot approve or execute the external action.”

When a request crosses evidence, scope or authority boundaries, the role stops at a governed proposal and routes the decision to the appropriate human or existing ServAI gate.

MISSION-FIRST

Do not add Competitive Intelligence Analyst just because the role exists.

Give ServAI the mission. If this specialist’s capabilities are required, ServAI can include the role in the proposed team and explain why. If not, the smallest relevant team stays smaller.
