Agent authority ·

Where does the human belong?

Every agent capability sits somewhere between "just let it run" and "two people must sign". Pick wrong in one direction and you have gated a capability into uselessness; pick wrong in the other and you find out what irreversible means. Describe one capability across 9 factors and get the gate it warrants, the 7 hard floors that override the raw score, the controls the profile implies, and the answers that contradict each other. Free.

Assess one capability

One capability at a time, not the whole agent — that is the whole point. An agent that can both draft a summary and wire a payment needs no gate on the first and a blocking one on the second, and a per-agent answer is forced to average them into something wrong in both directions.

Pricing

Unlimited assessment is free and stays free. The Gate Design Pack is what the rubric deliberately does not do: it tells you how to build the gate it just recommended so that it still works six months in.
