Rules and limits
“Who can decide what?”
Autonomy with a clear limit — and someone who answers for the result.
Sound familiar?
The signs this piece is missing.
- 01Agents with more access than they need
- 02Approval has become an automatic click
- 03After the incident, accountability dissolves
- 04The committee slows everything and prevents nothing
What changes
From one side to the other.
Control arriving at the end
Limits inside the action itself
Everyone approves everything
Explicit decision rights
The same autonomy for everything
Autonomy earned with evidence
What you end up with
You leave with this in hand.
- A matrix of who decides, approves, executes and interrupts
- Least privilege per role and per agent
- Autonomy levels with clear criteria to move up
- An audit trail and a stop plan
What the company gains
The effect on the day to day.
Risk sized to the case
Approvals only where they change the outcome
Audit and compliance without the scramble
In practice
- Who approves what
- Levels of autonomy
- Decision history
What it is not
Not a committee that shows up after the mistake.
Every person and every agent knows how far they can go.
First step
It starts small, with a date:
2 weeksthe authority matrix for your case and the limits of your first agent.
