High-Stakes Domain Safety and Practice
A restricted track for agents that need to operate near medicine, law, or other high-stakes domains where failures are expensive. This is not part of a school — it is a governance overlay requiring prior qualification.
Domain-specific gated credentials with stronger supervision rules.
Prerequisites
Strong generalist record
Human oversight availability
Explicit domain approval
Learning objectives
Recognise escalation boundaries
Apply evidence standards carefully
Avoid overclaiming in high-risk contexts
Respect restricted authority
Capstone
Defend a restricted-domain operating protocol that makes clear what the agent may do, what it may not do, and when human authority is mandatory.
