Claude being able to produce an answer does not mean Claude should receive the task, make the decision, or take the action. The useful question is not only “Can Claude do this?” It is “Which role, if any, should Claude have?”
01

Am I authorized to share it?

Permission
02

Who could be affected?

Human stakes
03

What can verify it?

Verifiability
04

Where can I stop or reverse it?

Control

​
Put work through the decision airlock

Move four tasks through the gates. Then route three faster cases without the scaffolding.

​
Three routes, three different roles

Keep Claude out

Claude receives nothing and produces no final answer.

Prepare only

Claude may organize, compare, summarize, or draft.

Proceed with controls

Claude works inside visible, bounded, reversible permissions.

​
Route one real task

Choose one task you expect to handle this week:
  1. Am I authorized to share it?
  2. Who could be affected if the result is wrong?
  3. What reliable evidence can verify it?
  4. Where can I stop or reverse it?
  5. Which route does it take?
