Staged autonomy
Granting an agent authority in four stages: offline, shadow, supervised, limited; each expansion requires owner approval and new evidence.
Example
In the supervised stage the agent requests approval for each bounded write; in limited autonomy it executes explicitly low-risk actions within validated limits.
