• Set the technical direction the engineers on your engagement follow, and review their code.
• Reverse-engineer how identity actually works in a client environment, then design what it should be.
• Make the build-versus-buy calls and document why, in a form that survives your leaving the project.
• Prototype against emerging standards and vendor betas, often before documentation exists.
• Build the reference implementations and technical content that become how the practice does this work.
