Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify scope boundary -> During a review, I spotted a 5% drop in feature adoption outside my team with no ticket. I traced the cause, wrote a fix, and coordinated rollout with the Platform team. Adoption returned to baseline, protecting $10K/week revenue.
  2. Step 2: Confirm individual ownership -> D uses 'I' throughout.
  3. Step 3: Check for specific metric -> D quantifies 5% drop and $10K/week revenue impact.
  4. Step 4: Exclude others: A manager-directed escalation; B team credit; C no metric.
