The safest agentic systems begin with authority, not tooling.
Core idea
Point 1
Every workflow has an approval layer, even if nobody has written it down. Someone can approve. Someone can reject. Someone can escalate. Someone owns the outcome.
Point 2
When that layer is informal, agents inherit the ambiguity.
Point 3
Mapping authority means defining permissions, thresholds, review rules, escalation paths, evidence, and accountability.
Point 4
Once the approval layer is visible, the automation strategy becomes much clearer.
Point 5
That is why the first step is diagnostic. Capability comes after clarity.
