Cell notes

Inventory, Approval gating / Operator-declared

What this cell records. The operator's review calendar and outstanding-review tracking.

Fields

  • - last_owner_attestation, owner re-signed the charter and confirmed the agent is still needed.
  • - next_owner_attestation_due
  • - pending_approvals[], charter amendments awaiting signatures.
  • - overdue_reviews[], agents whose next_review_due has passed.

Operational tie-in

Drives an executive dashboard tracking review compliance per domain. Per-cell escalation when reviews are overdue.

Common failure mode

Quarterly review process exists on paper, never executed. Reviews become rubber stamps when they happen. Mitigation: automated reminders, escalation if overdue, exec dashboard.
