Workers
Monitoring
Watching something continuously, and raising it with a person when it moves.
What it takes on
The work, stated plainly.
- Watching a threshold, a queue, a balance or a status without interruption
- Recognising the difference between noise and a genuine change of state
- Raising it with the named person who owns the response, with the evidence attached
- Recording what it saw and when, including the things it decided were not worth raising
Monitoring in use
Authority
How its authority is set.
The boundary is agreed with you when the role is written, not shipped as a default. Every worker holds these three kinds of permission and no others.
What it does alone
Agreed in advance with the people who carry the risk, and kept narrow at the start.
What it may only propose
Anything carrying consequence is prepared, then held until a named person approves it.
Approved by
Time
What it may never touch
Set out when the role is written, and enforced rather than requested.
