Applying the Escalation Thresholds to Real Situations

Determine when human review or additional verification is required

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
Applying the escalation thresholds means working through realistic situations, a routine low-stakes draft, a polished but high-stakes output, and a stalled iteration cycle, to decide which requires escalation. A low-stakes, reversible, internal, non-regulated output can ship; a clean-looking high-stakes output should be escalated despite reading well; a high-stakes deliverable in a flat iteration cycle should get a fresh human read. The decision comes from applying all four thresholds together.
