04 / ROUTING

The policy bridge

Keep work private.
Make meaning visible.

The router combines deterministic policy, relevance judgment, metadata, and access control to decide what happens next.

Interactive policy model

Should this event be promoted?

Adjust the signals below. The example blends significance signals, while human authority remains a hard policy trigger.

0 / 100

Continue privately

Illustrative model—not a universal formula. Production routing combines fixed enterprise rules, contextual classification, permission checks, and audit.

Graduated responses

Promotion is not one action.

The router selects the smallest behavior that matches significance, audience, authority, and urgency.

LOW

Ignore or store

Keep routine work private and retain only what is needed for audit.

MEDIUM

Summarize or post

Compress an interesting discovery into organizational meaning.

HIGH

Mention or approve

Bring in a responsible person or authority at the point of decision.

CRITICAL

Escalate or open a room

Create a coordinated response space for risk, incidents, or irreversible action.

Context compression

Promote the meaning, not the machinery.

A clean contract turns hundreds of private interactions into one useful message that people and listening agents can act on.

Bidirectional by design

Meaning moves up.
Authorized intent moves down.

Layer 1 promotes significant information. Layer 2 produces decisions that become structured, machine-executable workflows.

A shared enterprise component

The router is infrastructure, not a prompt trick.

Centralizing relevance rules, permissions, privacy, thresholds, cost controls, communication etiquette, subscriptions, compression, and audit makes routing consistent across the agent network.
