Approvals and operator control

The coworker model only earns trust if the human operator stays in control of anything sensitive. Approvals, decision logs, and event-scoped permissions are how CT Networks makes coworker behavior acceptable to event teams and the people they serve.

Core definition

Approvals and operator control are the trust layer of CT Networks. Sensitive coworker actions are held in an approval queue, attributable to a coworker, a playbook, a triggering context, and an approving human, with an audit trail that explains why the action happened.

Design principles

1

Sensitive actions require explicit human approval.

2

Every action is attributable to a coworker, playbook, and context.

3

Permissions are event-scoped and role-aware.

4

Decision history and audit trails are first-class, not afterthoughts.
