The Last Human Gate: Forward Deployed Engineering for Governance Automation
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.29345v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise governance requires decisions, evidence, and accountable authority; it does not require every review task to retain its current human implementation. We develop a task-substitution framework for Digital Governance Frameworks (DGF), treating each gate as an executable contract. Substitution requires sufficient accessible information, valid decision and authority checks, and a reduction in total human work after exceptions, verification, correction, and maintenance are counted. We derive a residual-work threshold and show why automating
