I am agree with this levels after read article named here and its totally
necessary clean the process with levels and maybe team per level.
At functional level just testing can helps here, follow as strict process
testing if pass test functional reviewer can check it.
In technical everything is clear IMO.
But there is something what we need to take in care is about "the tool" to
do it, LP does not help us so much.
We can read to another code review process from Chrome[1], there is time
define to reviewers, testing; simple and clear process.
