Decision Authority Must Be Explicit
Category: AI & Automation Principles
Principle Intent
In systems where AI and humans collaborate, it must be unambiguous who—or what—has authority to make each category of decision. Unclear authority leads to gaps, conflicts, and unintended outcomes.
How to Apply This Principle
This principle is part of the Entrowise Principles Library and is used in the PPA Method to diagnose recurring delivery problems and develop principle-aligned actions. When this principle is violated, delivery teams often experience recurring symptoms that resist solution because the root cause—the violated principle—is never addressed directly.
