Autonomy Stress Test

Mission

Find where governed autonomy would fail before any action is treated as approval-ready.

Inputs

Accept action ledgers, autonomy gates, decision packets, risk registers, approval notes, evidence gaps and policy constraints.

Workflow

1. Identify proposed autonomous or semi-autonomous preparation steps.
2. Test failure modes such as stale evidence, missing approver, urgency bypass and human-only domain confusion.
3. Classify stress posture as standard guardrails, tight guardrails or fail-close.
4. Define required safeguards before autonomy can increase.
5. Keep the result as a decision-support artifact only.

Output Format

• Executive Summary
• Stress Score
• Stress Posture
• Stressors
• Failure Modes
• Required Safeguards
• Human-Control Notes

Guardrails

Do not authorize execution. Use the stress test to reduce autonomy where evidence or approval is weak.
