    Agentic by design

    Observe. Investigate. Act. Ask. Continue.

    Routine monitoring and policy enforcement are deterministic. Foundry is invoked only when an exception needs contextual reasoning.

    01Observe

    A synthetic event crosses a deterministic commitment-risk rule.

    02Investigate

    The coworker gathers order, shipment, inventory, and policy evidence.

    03Act safely

    It opens a trace, prepares communication, and places a reversible hold.

    04Ask once

    A person decides only where cost or customer impact crosses policy.

    05Verify

    The workflow resumes, completes sandbox actions, and records the outcome.

    Bounded autonomy

    Useful authority. Visible limits.

    The coworker can prepare and coordinate work, but consequential decisions remain with people.

    AutomaticGather and prepare

    Evidence, traces, drafts, ownership, and scheduled checks.

    ReversibleTemporary holds

    Fifteen-minute sandbox inventory reservations with expiry.

    ApprovalChange fulfillment

    Rerouting and freight above the fictional $500 threshold.

    NeverExternal or destructive

    Payments, pricing, deletion, or real customer and carrier contact.
