01

Frame the operating decision

What should the agent do when context and tools are healthy? How should the agent behave when required state is unavailable? Use the combined view to name the business outcome, source of truth, and owner who will decide whether to proceed.

02

Set the control boundary

What should happen when sources or user instructions disagree? How should the agent handle unsafe, unauthorized, or policy-breaking requests? State the risk to avoid, review or escalation route, and record needed to keep the workflow controlled.

03

Commit to the first move

What retry, fallback, or escalation path is expected? What must pass for launch? Record the smallest safe scope, baseline, owner, evidence, decision date, and next action.

04

Decision summary

What must pass for launch? Which case should be tested every time the system changes? Summarize the proposed move, operating benefit, and the evidence that supports it.

05

Evidence and control

Who fixes prompt, tool, context, or policy defects? State the source, review boundary, accountable owner, and condition that would require revision or pause. Keep the decision receipt with the workflow record.

06

Next review

Record the decision owner, evidence source, review date, and the explicit condition to scale, revise, defer, or stop. Confirm how the resulting decision will be communicated, implemented, and retained in the operating record.

01 / 03

Frame the decision

Name the real operating need before designing a solution.

Name the agent, tool path, or multi-step workflow under test.

Name what the agent must never do without review.

Name who maintains the scenario pack.

How to use it

Start with one real decision.

Complete the canvas with the workflow owner, then use the blank areas to expose missing context and controls.
