Ours to answerWe’re the right party to answer. Give a position on the question and, optionally, what it depends on.
Blocked by dependenciesOurs, but we can’t commit a position until an upstream party resolves. Name what’s blocking it.
Not ours to answerAnother party owns this. Nominate who should answer — they’ll be asked to accept.
Conflicts with a wider strategyYou’re disputing the premise, not answering — this question pulls against a wider strategic objective. Routes to leadership, apart from your answer. (To answer and flag a tension, use a make-or-break dependency instead.)

Who should answer this instead?Nominate, don’t assert — the party you name is asked to accept, never silently saddled.
Who specifically?
We’ll ask them to accept. If they decline, it routes on.
Which wider strategy does this conflict with?You’re disputing the premise, not answering. No position is given — this routes to leadership as a premise challenge, handled apart from dependencies.

These arrive as suggested — review each to set importance and fix anything I got wrong.
