Connect strategy to a decision
The manager’s risk review determines which regression checks run for a change and what needs deeper investigation. That gives test strategy a concrete purpose. Name the release or workflow risks rather than simply claiming quality ownership.
Define what escaped
The example tracks high-severity customer-reported defects confirmed after release. Severity rules and observation windows matter. If those definitions changed, a before-and-after rate would need explanation rather than a simple percentage claim.
Distinguish recommendation from authority
QA supplies evidence and recommends holding a release where needed. The example names a delivery-board decision process rather than implying that a job title gives sole release authority. Explain who accepted residual risks.
