Rooted Rocket Start with the problem

Decide authority before granting capability.

Assess one workflow decision and get a recommended authority level based on predictability, interpretation, consequence, reversibility, controls, and human ownership.

Your answer is not behind a form.

The result applies Rooted Rocket’s original Automation Authority Matrix: deterministic transfer, bounded classification, consequential decision, novel exception, and the controls each requires.

Work and consequence

Classify what the system would do and what failure could cost.

Are the inputs and intended outcome fully specified?
Does the work require interpretation rather than a fixed rule?
Could a wrong action create a financial, customer, legal, security, or people consequence?
Can the action be reversed without lasting harm?

Authority and control

Test whether the workflow can act inside explicit limits and fail visibly.

Does the case stay inside tested normal and exception paths?
When interpretation is involved, are approved categories and confidence thresholds defined?
Is a named person responsible for approval when the authority limit is reached?
Are validation, logging, failure alerts, and a rollback or quarantine path in place?
Does a named owner monitor quality, drift, security, cost, and exceptions?
Can the workflow be paused or moved without losing critical records?
