The autonomy ladder should be earned as workflows prove context quality, approval clarity, and evidence discipline.
Core idea
Point 1
Start with human execution. Then agent-assisted drafting. Then recommendations. Then routed approvals. Then bounded actions. Then monitored autonomy.
Point 2
Each step requires evidence. Did the system use approved context? Did humans approve the right decisions? Were exceptions caught? Did outcomes improve?
Point 3
Bounded autonomy is not a vibe. It is a controlled progression.
Point 4
A workflow earns more autonomy only when the approval layer, context layer, and evidence layer hold up.
Point 5
That is how you scale agents without pretending risk disappeared.
