Governance Principles

A decision should have an identifiable owner. Delegating its execution to a person or a system should preserve that responsibility.

The extent of delegated authority deserves particular attention. What may be changed, who may be affected and when further approval is required are questions to resolve before that authority is exercised.

A recommendation and an action carry different responsibilities. So do actions that can be reversed and those with lasting consequences. The authority given to a system should reflect those differences.

Human review is most valuable where it can influence a decision. The ability to inspect relevant information, stop an action and correct an outcome should be considered when defining how a system is used.

An observation, an estimate and a proposed course of action are different kinds of information. Each should be understood on its own terms.

The same applies to generated material. A summary should allow a reader to understand what supports it and where uncertainty remains. Decisions made from incomplete information should acknowledge the assumptions on which they depend.

These principles concern how responsibility should be assigned and exercised. Their application depends on the activity, the parties involved and the authority each party holds.
