Frictionless Harm — Operational test: Teams can point to a concrete example that demonstrates frictionless harm in practice.
Operational test "Teams can point to a concrete example that demonstrates frictionless harm in practice." for Frictionless Harm in the Friction & flow glossary category.
Operational test
Teams can point to a concrete example that demonstrates frictionless harm in practice.
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.
