Embedded agency and trust
How a system governs an expert or protective agent that operates inside the people, workflows or infrastructure it evaluates.
Why it matters

Recurring mechanisms
1
Bounded mandate and host consent
2
Independent corroboration of private signals
3
Proportional, reversible escalation
Discussion prompt
What evidence and limits make an embedded agent trustworthy without making it sovereign?
