If a checklist step fails twice, the operator escalates to the team lead the same day. The lead chooses rollback or a scheduled fix and records it in the runbook. Unresolved after 48 hours: escalate to NobleProxy support with the incident notes.
The operations lead owns the SOP; operators execute it. Ownership is recorded in the runbook next to the procedure.
After any incident, any tooling change, and in the monthly review. Record what changed and why at the bottom of the checklist.
