Core idea

An agent becomes a production system only when quality is measurable and autonomy boundaries are explicit.

02

Practical loop

Quality gates, autonomy boundaries, audit trails and safe handoffs. We examine roles, events, decisions and a testable outcome.

  • Reference set
  • Approval gates
  • Safe handoff
03

How to apply it

Start with one reference scenario. Fix the baseline, decision owner and stopping criteria before automation.

04

What to validate

A short checklist before pilot or scale.

  • Quality criteria defined
  • Irreversible actions gated
  • Exceptions carry context

We identify gaps across process, data and systems, then propose a first testable step — without selling AI for its own sake.
