Operational test
Evidence appears in documentation, interface cues, or governance artifacts that reflect harm visibility.
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 Harm Visibility is expected, enforced, or governed.
- Behavior signal: Observed behavior showing Harm Visibility in practice during real use or drills.
- Metric signal: Metric tracked to monitor Harm Visibility performance over time.
How plainly a system exposes the human impact of its decisions in real time. High harm visibility pairs logs, narratives, and alerts so oversight horizons extend beyond dashboards and ethical interrupts trigger on lived effects, not just technical anomalies.
D. System states & architectures. Operational postures that determine how harm is absorbed—or amplified.
Ethotechnics uses Harm Visibility to extend the d. system states & architectures vocabulary and connect governance, design, and policy teams.
