Agents need a readiness layer that answers identity, authorization, context, risk, review, evidence, and attribution.
Core idea
Point 1
The 7 Gates are simple: identity, authorization, context, risk, review, evidence, and attribution.
Point 2
Who or what is acting? Who gave permission? What information is being used? What could go wrong? Does a human need to approve it? What proof is captured? How do we measure the outcome?
Point 3
If you cannot answer those questions for a workflow, the agent should not have broad autonomy in that workflow.
Point 4
The point is not to slow the business down. The point is to make safe execution repeatable.
Point 5
Download the checklist, then apply it to one real workflow.
