OPERATING ROLE
A controlled layer, not a standalone feature.
The workforce architecture separates useful delegation from uncontrolled autonomy. An AI worker cannot expand its own authority, bypass human gates or treat activity volume as business performance.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
What this layer is designed to control.
Objective
A measurable outcome connected to an accountable business owner.
Mission & KPI
Time-bounded work with explicit success and stop conditions.
Knowledge scope
Only the approved organisational and customer context required for the role.
Tools & permissions
Least-privilege access to controlled systems and actions.
Budget & model policy
Spend, rate, provider, privacy, quality and fallback constraints.
Approval & escalation
Human review and exception routes proportionate to consequence.
Evaluation & retirement
Evidence determines promotion, repair, rollback or retirement.
Capabilities, deployment controls and provider terms are verified for the selected solution. Shofield does not claim unverified certifications, partner designations or universal compliance guarantees.
