Choose the role of the system
Define whether the system retrieves information, summarizes evidence, predicts a condition, recommends an action, or performs a bounded task. Each role needs different controls and should not quietly expand during use.
Place human authority deliberately
- Require review when confidence is low, inputs are incomplete, or sources conflict.
- Require approval where an action affects people, commitments, access, money, safety, or material operations.
- Route exceptions to a named owner with the evidence needed to decide.
- Record overrides and outcomes so the workflow can be improved.
Make review meaningful
A person cannot provide useful oversight if the source, limitation, rule, or consequence is hidden. The interface should show what the output is based on, what remains uncertain, and what actions are permitted.
Design questions
- What judgment is the person expected to apply?
- What evidence must be visible at the review point?
- Can the reviewer disagree, override, or request more information?
- Who owns the outcome after approval?
- How are exceptions and repeated overrides monitored?
How Saranor applies this
Saranor can define approved-data boundaries, human-oversight rules, access roles, approval points, exception handling, risk controls, and an implementation roadmap for one bounded operational use case.
