The way out

Four moves. All of them written down.
1

Measure what it can reach

The grant, measured, not assumed: what the agent can actually do.

2

Write down what stands in the way

For every row beyond its purpose: a boundary, a setting, an expectation, or nothing.

3

A licence to operate

With a name, a date and an expiry, that can be suspended.

4

Let it earn its autonomy

Each level unlocked by evidence that the one below held.

The more you constrain an agent, the more autonomy you can afford to give it.
