Should this decision even be codified?
Not every expert decision belongs in a deterministic skill. The v2 protocol opens with a screening step that assigns a risk tier, recommends a pipeline depth, and emits the required guardrails before anyone books an interview. Output here populates the scope block of the SMETP v2 schema.
Candidate decision
050 (validation floor)1000+
high risk tier
High-tier — full pipeline, shadow before binding
Recommended pipeline depth
Full — capture, dual-coder analysis, calibrated zones, shadow validation, monitoring.
Why this tier
- High-stakes decisions need shadow validation and explicit must-escalate rules.
- High decision frequency justifies the cost of a Phase 4 calibrated skill and Phase 6 monitoring.
Required guardrails
- Mandatory shadow-mode period of ≥4 weeks before binding decisions.
- Must-escalate triggers for protected-class proxies, novel inputs, conflicting signals.
