Release System detail
Risk-based routing classifies an AI action before release or execution so it can move automatically, require review, require approval, escalate, or stop based on reversibility, confidence, user impact, data sensitivity, and operational consequence.
Plain-language definition
Risk-based routing classifies an AI action before release or execution so it can move automatically, require review, require approval, escalate, or stop based on reversibility, confidence, user impact, data sensitivity, and operational consequence.
Example before the midpoint
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Automatic action | High confidence, reversible, low consequence. |
| Review | Moderate consequence or lower confidence. |
| Approval | Material customer, financial, legal, or operational impact. |
| Escalation | Conflict, policy uncertainty, or unexpected failure. |
| Stop or containment | Unsafe, unauthorized, or unbounded behavior. |
Failure modes
Reviewers become bottlenecks and begin rubber-stamping because the route design cannot distinguish consequence.
Consequential mistakes reach customers, operators, or systems before anyone with authority can intervene.
High-confidence actions can still move when the consequence, data sensitivity, or reversibility requires review.
Small-looking actions can create harm that is difficult to undo.
