Headline signal
Three-part scoped observation (NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0). Treat this as context for planning, not a guarantee about a particular assistant or operating result.
Analysis and operating context
Question: why does work stall between an assistant and an internal owner?
Method: record the handoff time, requested decision, owner, source links, first response, and restart time. Classify the first blocking condition.
Interpretation: missing-owner clusters suggest a routing problem. Missing-information clusters may point to the brief. These categories describe workflow, not motivation.
