# Human checkpoint map

Blank template. Each field says what to record.

For each AI task your team repeats: the level of oversight, who approves what, what they see and how to stop and undo.

## Task

Describe the task in a few words, as the team would say it.

[Your answer]

## Level

Choose one: AI drafts, AI proposes, AI acts within limits, or you do it.

[Your answer]

## Why this level

Answer the three questions: can it be undone, who else is affected, and what it costs if it’s wrong.

[Your answer]

## Who approves

Name the role that approves, and a backup.

[Your answer]

## What they see before approving

List what the reviewer needs to decide: the exact action, the amount, the recipient and the evidence.

[Your answer]

## Limits enforced by the system

Write the limits set in permissions or settings, not just in the prompt.

[Your answer]

## If nobody responds

Say what happens when the approver doesn’t answer. Silence never counts as approval.

[Your answer]

## How to stop and undo

Say who can pause the task and how to reverse its effects.

[Your answer]

## Review date

When will you check that this checkpoint still works?
