Technical note
Human oversight is budgeted, or it does not exist
Key takeaways
- The oversight pattern is fixed by the system's impact; the budget only reveals whether the project is viable.
- The interface is public policy: full case, visible uncertainty, frictionless dissent.
- Staffing is computed before deployment and measured in the pilot — with the log on from day one.
- Two quarterly metrics, published, separate real oversight from theater.
- After ruling T-323, documenting all this stopped being good practice: it is the direction of Colombian legal expectations.
