AGENTIC CAPABILITY 09 · THE HUMAN KEEP-POINT
HITL Control Points
"a person says 'yes' at the moments that matter"
HUMAN GATE REUSABLE PATTERN
This is where human authority lives. At the points that matter — confirm, review, sign-off — a person holds the decision; the system carries the load between them. Nothing consequential is written or sent without a human's yes. This is the capability that makes everything else safe to run: it's the deliberate place where the autonomy dial is turned down to human authority, by design.
What it does for your function
Human authority at the key thresholds — confirm, review, sign-off.
No consequential action — no write, no send — without a person's approval.
The system runs the work between the gates; your people hold the gates.
HOW IT STAYS BOUNDED
Nothing consequential is written or sent without a human's yes.
The gates are the deliberate place where the autonomy dial is turned down to human authority — by design, not by exception.
Where this pattern fits
Anywhere an action is consequential or irreversible, the same keep-point places a named person's authority in front of it.
LIVE · WAVE 1
Injury Management
Sign-off gates on liability, plan approval and closure — a named person's yes on every consequential move.
Payment release
Funds move only after a person's approval — the system prepares, never releases.
Clinical sign-off
Orders and referrals prepared in full — committed only under a clinician's authority.
Contract execution
Drafted, redlined and staged by the system — signed only by a person.
Publication gates
Content staged and checked — nothing goes public without an editor's yes.
What we guarantee
The promises the build must hold — on the record, by design.
Authority is placed
Named gates at named thresholds — who decides what is designed, not discovered.
Gate writes, agent proposes
Agents recommend; only a decision at the gate commits anything to the record.
The load is carried between gates
Your people hold moments of authority — not the drudgery between them.
Every yes is logged
Each approval lands in the append-only log — who, when, and on what basis.
