Not unrestricted. Not approval theatre.

Second Chair operates according to customer-defined control policies. Human review follows the consequence and confidence of the action.

High consequence or customer-facing

Important communication, ambiguous changes, sensitive operations, and other high-risk actions can require a named reviewer.

Routine and explicitly authorised

Approved low-risk routines can move with less friction when the customer’s policy and evidence support it.

Context, monitoring, and preparation

Reading approved context, surfacing exceptions, and preparing work can stay useful without pretending every step is an external action.

Questions a careful operator should ask.
