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.

Context

Category: System states & architectures

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.
