Frictionless Harm — Operational test: Evidence appears in documentation, interface cues, or governance artifacts that reflect frictionless harm.
Operational test "Evidence appears in documentation, interface cues, or governance artifacts that reflect frictionless harm." for Frictionless Harm in the Friction & flow glossary category.
Operational test
Evidence appears in documentation, interface cues, or governance artifacts that reflect frictionless harm.
Use this test to validate operational readiness.
Pair this test with the minimum evidence criteria to capture both qualitative and quantitative signals.
- Evidence artifact: Artifact documenting how Frictionless Harm is expected, enforced, or governed.
- Behavior signal: Observed behavior showing Frictionless Harm in practice during real use or drills.
- Metric signal: Metric tracked to monitor Frictionless Harm performance over time.
Harms that spread unchecked because safeguards or pauses were stripped away. Frictionless harm is the inverse of protective friction ; it appears when velocity friction and dignity friction are absent.
I. Friction & flow. Designing intentional friction that protects people while keeping harm contained.
Ethotechnics uses Frictionless Harm to extend the i. friction & flow vocabulary and connect governance, design, and policy teams.
