Operational test
Teams can point to a concrete example that demonstrates interaction surface 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 Interaction Surface is expected, enforced, or governed.
- Behavior signal: Observed behavior showing Interaction Surface in practice during real use or drills.
- Metric signal: Metric tracked to monitor Interaction Surface performance over time.
The moments, interfaces, and channels where people experience system decisions and can intervene. Mapping the interaction surface reveals where to place dignity friction , widen the permission surface , and detect dead-user zones .
D. System states & architectures. Operational postures that determine how harm is absorbed—or amplified.
Ethotechnics uses Interaction Surface to extend the d. system states & architectures vocabulary and connect governance, design, and policy teams.
