Vinnie, excellent answer - it really clarified a lot. Combined with
previous and detailed insights from authors (thanks peter, claudio, darryl,
robert!), most of my questions around the unclear context and culture have
been addressed (for now :p ). I am glad steps are being taken to freeze
these cultural points into solid documentation that boostlings like me can
use.

Since I was down a GoogleDoc hole, I compiled some constructive feedback
from this thread and others and drafted a template document that could
(maybe/possibly/dontroastme) be a base for Review Manager reports:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zHV1ygtC5x7vUWuJk2ib11NlRhgS20U4ELwft49R6do/edit?usp=sharing

It is far from perfect, it does not replace actual mentoring, but at least
it gives a clear outline of what kind of report is expected from the Review
Manager, and from the RM perspective it takes away the mental charge of
putting together the structure and document. Hopefully, with enhancements
from the ML, this can help in achieving GRP-level stuff (Great Reviews of
the Past),

I personally do not have more interrogations. I deeply appreciate how
appeased and constructive the dialogue was. Thanks for having all chimed
in! I would be irreverent I would say that this Retrospective Phase
proved itself to be fruitful and useful, but I am no such thing <3

Have a great week (tomorrow is vacation day in France) 🥳

Best wishes and frenchy kitties,
Arno
