A Project Representative spans teams and timelines for a specific initiative. It pulls context from every team contributing to a project and makes it queryable through a single surface.
Project Representatives answer questions like 'What's the status of the payments migration?' by drawing from wraps across three teams in two timezones. Every answer traces back to a specific engineer's wrap. When the answer isn't in any published record, the Representative refuses.
