Mistake Prevention

How We Prevent AI Mistakes

Our approach is simple: define boundaries first, require approval when risk is high, pause when uncertainty is high, log what happened, and make it easy to stop the role.

Five control layers

These layers are reused across Digital Roles so owners can understand and compare behavior.

Guardrails

Each role operates only inside a defined scope of tasks, tools, and instructions.

Approval Thresholds

High-risk or customer-impacting actions can require approval before execution.

Escalation

Uncertain cases pause and notify your team instead of guessing or improvising.

Audit Logs

Actions, approvals, and outcomes are recorded for review and troubleshooting.

Pause Switch

You can disable a role instantly and fall back to manual handling at any time.

Concrete action examples

Booking exception request

A reception role receives a request outside approved booking categories or time blocks. It does not confirm the booking. It pauses and requests approval with a summary.

Uncertain support response

A support role cannot match the question to an approved knowledge-base answer. It does not guess. It escalates the case and notifies the owner with the conversation context.

Draft-only documentation workflow

A documentation role creates a draft with highlighted uncertainty segments. It does not finalize records or publish outputs without review.

Approval time thresholds

  • Immediate approval required for high-value or unusual customer commitments
  • Approval-first rollout mode for customer-facing messaging during onboarding
  • Manual approval for policy changes, refunds, contract-related actions, or non-standard commitments
  • Human sign-off required for finalization in draft-only documentation workflows

Escalation examples

  • Uncertain case classification -> pause + notify within 2 minutes
  • Out-of-scope request -> block action + route to human owner
  • Urgent/safety-tagged support message -> immediate escalation, no auto-answer
  • Repeated unresolved loop -> escalate transcript summary for review

Logging explanation

We log events needed for traceability and troubleshooting: request IDs, timestamps, route/action outcomes, approvals, escalations, and pause events. We avoid logging sensitive payload contents by default in routine operational logs.

Pause mechanism explanation

The pause mechanism is a manual override that stops a role from taking new automated actions while your team investigates. It is designed for rapid control recovery, not hidden fallback behavior.

We can show exactly which actions are blocked, which require approval, and what triggers escalation for your first role.
