Escalation ladder / freeze authority table
Defines who can freeze what, under which conditions, and on what timeline.
Stoppability is operationalized as an enforceable authority.
What this enforces
- Freeze authority is explicit and role-bound.
- Stop conditions are pre-declared.
- Escalation occurs by clock, not permission.
How to use
- Assign freeze roles and backup roles.
- Define kill-switch criteria for each failure state.
- Run a tabletop where the first move is a freeze.
If a field is hard to fill, that is the governance gap this artifact exposes.
