The premise
AI can draft red-team-lead role definitions and program-charter scaffolds, but the executive sponsor must own scope and escalation authority.
What AI does well here

- Draft 90-day plans for a new red-team lead.
What AI cannot do
- Set the political authority needed to escalate adverse findings.
- Replace executive-sponsor commitment to act on findings.
