Old BA Trident Cat 3, required decision at DH
"
Decide" - no response, deduce incapacitation
Without response the procedure mandated a GA. However, for the future situation, Cat 3 weather, reduced / unqualified crew (as Captain), continue to land was a better option.
Thus Announce - '
The Captain in dead', "Long live the new Captain" … "Land"
This was a (glib) procedure before introducing the Alert Height concept, the use of which, in a time critical situation recognised that it is better to trust the machine than the imagined ideal procedure.
So for the thread subject, an alternative to introducing procedures which judge human reliability, the better option might be to trust the handing pilot irrespective of belief. Trust trained people.
In modern operations the likelihood of having an engine failure (or other condition) during takeoff is now less than that of human error - in a rare and surprising situation - either an action mistake by an inexperience PH handling (x1), or a take over / handling mistake by the PM (x2).

Training and safety meetings, simulator debrief, tend towards ref items 1 and 4; whereas real life experiences, like items 2 and 3, which policy and training may discount. (WAI = WAD)
Beware items 8, 9, and 10.
There maybe no 'correct' answer, only the view of the debater - foresight.

educate the actors - certification basis, awareness, balancing risk;
train them in awareness and procedural action, exposing them to difficult situations - without judgement to enhance
skill (learning from unwanted outcomes); and with time, with unexpected real events, we gain
wisdom.
There are no wizards in aviation.
