# Change Risk Triage — the express lane
The full gated pipeline is correct for a new platform or a risky feature; it's overkill for a typo.
This skill picks the lane. Owned by the `delivery-manager` (TPM); the orchestrator runs it FIRST on
every build/change and applies the resulting gate matrix. Honors vibegod-principles (simplicity;
never skip a SAFETY gate). User > skills > default.
## Fits in the pipeline
Runs at Stage 0 (new build) and Stage 9 (change request) BEFORE committing to the full flow. The tier
selects which downstream gates run vs skip.
## Score the tier (the tier = the WORST dimension)
Score the change on each dimension; one high dimension promotes the whole change:
- **Blast radius** — one internal user → one tenant/region → all users / a critical workflow.
- **Reversibility** — instant flag-off/rollback → redeploy → hard/irreversible (data migration).
- **Coupling** — does it touch billing, **authN/Z**, security, data consistency, queues, caches, or a
third-party contract?
- **Data / security / compliance impact**, **user-facing vs internal**, **diff size** (keep CLs ~100
lines so most work qualifies for the fast lane by construction), and **incident history** of the area.
| Tier | Looks like |
|---|---|
| **Trivial** | copy/typo, log-level, comment, a flag-OFF code path, docs |
| **Low** | small reversible CL, flag-gated, narrow blast radius, no sensitive coupling |
| **Standard** | user-facing or medium blast radius, normal rollback |
| **High / E
