I have no idea how anyone could possible know their mentoring was optimized. To determine that you would have to understand what every other mentoring option would have accomplished and what you did was best.

Yes. You put you best trained problem solver on your worst problems. Part time only makes sense if you don’t have your worst problems or your best people. The other option of course if that maybe you don’t care if something gets fixed.
