Element 08×Engineering
Engineering in Execution
Execution of Activities
What Engineering owns here
This element is engineering work as it actually happens — not the standard, not the procedure, but the design package being produced, the review being held, the technical query being answered, the approval being given. This is engineering at the moment of decision.

Why these belong here
"Element 8 is where the discipline of the rest of the system shows up — or doesn't. A clean check-and-approve workflow that survives schedule pressure is worth more than a thousand pages of standards that don't."
