The intern probably knows more about their work than the CEO in 99% of orgs. The leaf nodes who do the work know more about anything than their managers (who think they know everything but, in most organisations, understand very little). Your system must keep the managers happy to be successful, which could prove a tricky circle to square.

fair enough :) that's why it's a hard problem! different people have different levels of "trustworthiness" and this is exactly the kind of implicit mental model that employees form over years of working at a company. Hyper aims to learn these things by being an active listener, and make decisions based on that knowledge.
