Quotes
- “The weakest dimension determines the maximum level of autonomy you can safely grant.” (Core principle showing that delegation decisions depend on the worst-performing criterion, not average performance across dimensions)
- “If you can’t verify, you’re not really delegating; you’re gambling.” (Highlights why verifiability is a critical gate that prevents silent, costly failures that go undetected)
- “A low feasibility score is often temporary. Models get better. Tools mature.” (Distinguishes between permanent unfitness and temporary unreadiness, enabling strategic reassessment as technology evolves)
Context
- Features: Economic attractiveness scoring, Agent feasibility assessment, Verifiability evaluation, Risk and responsibility analysis, Guardrail design, Task decomposition
