Christian Idiodi's technique for identifying the most valuable source of insight on an unfamiliar team: not necessarily whoever claims the role, but whoever the room actually defers to.
The tell is behavioral rather than declared — watch for colleagues deferring to, or double-checking with, a particular person before decisions are finalized, and treat that person as the key source to learn from. Paired with Trust-Building via Visible Learning once that person is identified as a mentor.
