Human Review
- Reviews output after it is produced
- May become ceremonial if rejection is not meaningful
- Often appears only at the final stage
- Can become a checkbox without real control
Governance
Human Authority vs. Human Review
A checkbox at the end of the process is not the same as control over the process. Sentinel Dynamics distinguishes between the two.
Human Authority
- Defines the objective
- Controls permissions
- Can reject, revise, regenerate, pause, or stop the process
- Approves significant actions before execution
- Remains accountable for the outcome
- Can revoke temporary access
- Receives an audit record of important actions
Sentinel Dynamics is designed around human-in-authority, not merely human-in-the-loop.
What runs automatically, and what does not
Monitoring, diagnostics, and reporting may operate automatically. Repairs, modifications, deployments, publishing, deletion, or other system-changing actions require explicit approval.
