Risk and accountability
Role deep dive
How this member works
The Guardian names failure modes and accountable owners. Overshare, weak agent permissions, incomplete IR runbooks, and unmirrored AI-misuse owners sit here.
Primary panes are Security and GRC. Harden first; evidence next. Wave 0 starts here for a reason — amplify access you already gave and you scale risk with seats.
Dial up in regulated contexts and before any Pathfinder pilot. Dial down only after Steady holds and owners appear in both Security and the business register.
Over-dial freezes innovation. Under-dial invites unowned misuse. The fence exists so Pathfinder can explore safely.
Dial guidance
When to raise or lower
Often 4–5 in regulated banks and before expansion. Keep high until fences and mirrored owners exist. Revisit quarterly after incidents.
When to dial: Dial up for overshare, agent permissions, regulated contexts, or unowned AI misuse. Dial down only after the Steady baseline holds and owners are mirrored.
If over-dialled: Frozen innovation
Session cue
