Start at the highest point in the decision making pyramid when seeking a clarification. People do not naturally raise issues to their managers for a discussion. Most organizations are lazy and expect the layer below to resolve the problem. They consider it “lazy” if you raise an issue for input or further review. Though it’s a backward approach for building intelligent systems, it is more often true that not.

Resolved, when you are trying to get a commitment from an organization don’t waste your time working your way up the chain. There are no decisions to be made, you will in almost all cases be stuck.
