Operations

Evidence before completion

A shared language for knowing what Fatou Health can prove, what still needs verification, and when a human should take over.

Why this matters

Agentic systems can look finished before the external world has actually changed. Fatou Health therefore separates intent, execution, and proof. Operators should be able to tell where a workflow is on that path instead of inferring success from conversational confidence.

The five evidence levels

  1. Implemented — source code for the behavior exists.
  2. Tested — controlled validation has exercised the behavior.
  3. Deployed — the relevant version is present in the target runtime.
  4. Configured — tenant and provider bindings required by that behavior are active.
  5. Verified — the authoritative system confirms the expected outcome.

When work becomes Attention

  • The requested action exceeds the approved authority boundary.
  • Required information is missing or contradictory.
  • A provider call succeeds ambiguously and cannot be verified.
  • A retry could create a duplicate real-world side effect.
  • The external system is unavailable long enough that a human decision is safer.
