Evidence

Check the details.

Private feedback

Priya sent the draft to Elise before the meeting so Elise could react privately, not so the whole team could use it.

Team pressure

The team had been stuck without a handoff process, and Elise thought a rough starting point would unblock everyone.

Credit gap

Elise named Priya as the source, but Priya did not get to clean up the draft or frame what was unfinished.

Pick your side

Should Elise have asked first, helped the team move faster, or fixed it with credit and a revision pass?
