A scoping exercise will also encourage far too much rat-holing and shed-painting, something which we’re overly fond of doing. [That’s probably going to happen regardless. Sigh.] An outline of the general responsibilities of the role seems to be the thing to do here.

My primary definition of the job role would merely be the ability to
stand up at the back of a working group discussion and shout "Bullshit"
and get the working group back on track. Anything tighter than that and
we'll rapidly be debating exactly which shade of violet we should be
painting the bike-sheds.
