Research. Questions in the open.
Longer-form investigation into applied AI systems, workflow design, evaluation and meaningful human authority.
Claims belong beside method, evidence and limits.
Human authority as systems architecture
What must be designed into a workflow for human oversight to be meaningful rather than ceremonial?
- Method
- Map permission, evidence, uncertainty, approval, escalation, reversal and accountability across real workflow stages.
- Current limit
- A framework in active development; it is not presented as a completed empirical study.
The administrative tax on professional judgement
Where does skilled professional time disappear before substantive work can begin?
- Method
- Trace matter preparation, search, document handling, recording and coordination as one connected system of work.
- Current limit
- Sector and organisation baselines vary; measures must be established with each team rather than generalised blindly.
Customer service after automation
How can AI reduce routine handling without removing access to empathy, discretion and accountable help?
- Method
- Examine hand-off quality, handler context, escalation rights and resolution authority—not containment rate alone.
- Current limit
- A research direction informed by public cases and delivery patterns, not a claim about a deployed Boring Future product.
