The premise
New agents earn trust like new employees — start with read-only and graduate based on track record.
What AI does well here
- Define trust tiers with explicit permissions per tier.
- Promote based on measured success rate and human-override rate.
- Demote on incident.
What AI cannot do
- Skip trust tiers because the agent 'feels' competent.
- Measure trust without honest outcome labeling.
