📖What it means
Raising something to a level with more authority because the current one cannot resolve it. The top of every escalation path in Carolverse is a human — by design, not by omission.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Escalation ladder
Escalation is the act; the ladder is the specific path failed pipeline work follows.
Not: Core-change request
An escalation raises a problem; a core-change request asks for a specific privileged write.
