Resource section

The boundary

A workflow should make its operating context explicit before it proposes a decision or action. This is the beginning of an accountable cognitive runtime.

  • Declare the task, actor, domain, data sensitivity, and constraints.
  • Separate evidence from interpretation.
  • Keep execution behind the appropriate approval boundary.

Why it matters

Context is not a prompt decoration. It determines which knowledge, policies, people, and systems may participate in a workflow.

  • The same intent can have different consequences across domains.
  • Provenance gives reviewers a path back to approved evidence.
  • Recovery is easier when state and authority are explicit.
