Automation becomes trustworthy when review points reflect risk, uncertainty and responsibility.
Start with the decision
Define what could go wrong, who understands the consequences and what evidence they need.
Checkpoint types
Policy
Use when an explicit rule must be satisfied.
Confidence
Use when a model or heuristic is uncertain.
Impact
Use before actions that are difficult to reverse.
Good review design reduces uncertainty; it does not only transfer responsibility.
Measure review quality
Track time, rework, escalation and missing context.
