**ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES MATRIX TO REVIEW:**
[paste roles matrix here]
**Review Requirements:**
1. **Function coverage.** Verify all major M&E functions are represented in the matrix, including data collection, entry, analysis, reporting, learning, and oversight. Flag missing functions.
2. **Position-level specificity.** Check that responsibilities are assigned to named positions rather than to units, teams, or unspecified groups.
3. **RACI discipline.** Confirm the matrix distinguishes Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed roles where multiple positions share a function.
4. **Escalation path.** Verify the matrix or surrounding text states a supervision chain or escalation route for unresolved data, quality, or reporting issues.
5. **Staffing feasibility.** Assess whether the matrix is realistic given the current staffing structure and the time allocations the named positions actually have available.
**Output Format:**
Produce:
1. A 1-paragraph overall assessment.
2. A scored review table by dimension (function coverage, position specificity, RACI discipline, escalation path, staffing feasibility), with score, evidence, and recommended action.
3. A prioritized revision list (must-fix vs. should-fix).
4. A short note on whether the roles matrix is ready for sign-off or requires another revision.
