The Artifact Set

Six verdicts. One binding instrument.

Every workflow assessed by the Gate produces exactly one execution artifact, named by its verdict. Each is built to walk into a meeting and be acted on without explanation. Select an artifact to open the full document.

Autonomous AI executes without a human approval checkpoint
Artifact 01
Project Setup Brief

A bounded Claude Project that produces a reviewed internal deliverable from operator-supplied exports.

BUILD_READYOpen →
Artifact 02
Cowork Project Config

A scheduled, unattended Cowork project — folder structure, run cadence, and step sequence for the builder.

BUILD_READYOpen →
Artifact 03
Automation Architecture

A code-first pipeline — trigger, inputs, execution sequence, error handling, and recommended stack.

BUILD_READYOpen →
Supervised
Artifact 04
Control Plan

AI prepares; a named reviewer approves before the terminal action executes. The checkpoint is the document.

BUILD_READYOpen →
SOP First
Artifact 05
Stabilization Plan

Not a rejection — a "not yet." A sequenced checklist to stabilize the process before reassessment.

BLOCKED_FOR_EVIDENCEOpen →
Human Only
Artifact 06
Governance Memo

A structural block. A hard gate prohibits AI execution — the artifact documents the human procedure.
