Decide if the cutover evidence is good enough

You’re the program manager. Your team is in the room. Printed Aug 6, 2026.

A committed infrastructure transition can make evidence quality more consequential than delivery speed.

Teams may agree on the destination while disagreeing on how much uncertainty is acceptable before crossing the line.

Who you’d be doing this for

“I can’t tell the business we moved the foundation and then ask them to hope it holds.”

Dela Antwi · Chief Information Systems Architect

Sponsors enterprise knowledge infrastructure modernization and is accountable for continuity across business-critical systems.

What is at stake

A rehearsal moved the data, but reviewers cannot match 0.8% of the graph links they sampled, and disagree on whether that gap blocks cutover. You sign off before the old contract ends, and a reversal means a costly data replay.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • fixed deadline vs. verification depth
  • migration completion vs. retrieval continuity
  • cost containment vs. permission assurance
  • executive urgency vs. reviewable evidence

Why Glean

At Glean, this can matter because the underlying knowledge graph supports retrieval experiences that employees rely on across their work.
