Production capability system
The model isone component.We engineerthe other five.
Five capabilities, engineered as one control surface, whether your system is still a plan, being built, going live, or already failing in production.
Where controls meet consequences.
The model can generate. The production system makes it real, with controls, feedback, and measurable outcomes.

Production capabilities / Control effects
Authority & Permissions
Control who can do what, when, with which tools, within what scope, and under what conditions.
- Actor
- agent_billing
- Policy
- refund_policy_v3
- Limit
- $500 per refund
- Decision
- allow
Boundary Authorization controls reduce defined execution risk; they do not eliminate every policy or identity failure.

State & Side Effects
Track persistent changes, external calls, transactions, and downstream impact.

- refunded
- Order
- order_88421
- updated

Boundary State controls make mutations explicit; they do not make independently owned systems transactional by default.
Map this boundaryProduction capabilities / Recovery effects
Recovery & Idempotency
Handle failures, retries, duplicate actions, and partial execution without corrupting state.
- Attempt 01
- timeout
- Attempt 02
- suppressed · duplicate
- Reconcile
- complete
- Final state
- consistent
Boundary Recovery patterns bound known failure modes; they do not guarantee every external dependency can be repaired automatically.
Map this boundaryProduction capabilities / Observability effects
Observability & Evaluation
Capture decision logic, tool usage, state mutations, and real-world outcomes.
- Decision
- approve_refund
- Tool
- refunds.create
- Mutation
- ledger.entry_7710
- Outcome
- customer_repaired
Boundary Observability exposes defined evidence; it cannot reconstruct information the surrounding systems never emit.

Business Outcomes
Tie AI behavior to measurable business invariants, operating constraints, and durable results.
- Authority
- verified
- One effect
- refund_issued
- State
- consistent
- Outcome
- ledger_balanced
Boundary Outcome alignment ties engineering to stated invariants; it does not substitute for product, legal, or business ownership.
