An agent does not start autonomous. It climbs a ladder, and evals are the toll on every rung.

Autonomy is not a switch, it is a gradient. The real decision is how far along it a specific agent, on a specific process, has earned the right to move. This guide gives you the structure to grant it in increments paid for with evidence.

What's inside

  • The four-rung ladder, Shadow, Supervised, Guided and Full, defined by where the human stands relative to the action.
  • The eval threshold that gates each rung, and the drift monitoring that demotes an agent when it moves off the bar.
  • A lift-and-use autonomy table with blast radius per rung, REQUIRE-HUMAN on consequential calls, and a tested kill-switch.
