Ask a focused question
Ask which scopes have not moved recently, are marked at risk, or need a decision. Include the project or cycle so the answer stays bounded.
Read the evidence
Treat the response as a prompt for investigation, not a verdict. Open the scope updates and ask the people doing the work what changed.
Turn insight into action
Mark a needs-decision or circuit-breaker signal when appropriate, then record the outcome. A snapshot before the discussion can preserve the context.
