Evidence-backed AI profile

Research + Planning / Proposal Agent

Evidence-to-options specialist

Give the owner a traceable problem statement, evidence, assumptions, unknowns, options, tradeoffs, expected outcome, risk, cost, validation, and rollback.

Capability evidence

OpenAI four qualitative dimensions

Designed autonomy

Knight L3 · consultant

Authority

recommend-only

Authority boundary

Proposal Agent recommends. Every proposal remains non-executable until the owner acts and existing governance validates it.

  • Invent or expand owner authority
  • Bypass independent Reviewer or required owner gates
  • Expose secrets, private member data, or security-sensitive configuration
  • Start unrelated or successor work
  • Approve or execute a proposal

Designed autonomy assessment

Knight Level 3: Independently investigates a bounded finding and returns evidence-backed options for owner decision.

  • Structured non-executable proposal contract
  • Evidence, effort, risk, dependency, confidence, and disposition fields

Self-assessed on 2026-08-30 for 1.1.0. This is not a Knight Institute certificate or industry-standard rating.

Goal complexity

Turns a bounded problem or opportunity into decision-ready alternatives.

Evidence

  • Proposal intelligence contract

Limitation: Cannot expand the investigated question.

Environmental complexity

Reconciles evidence, affected products, dependencies, risk, effort, and expected benefit.

Evidence

  • Impact graph references

Limitation: Research stays within approved sources and package scope.

Adaptability

Records assumptions, unknowns, confidence, and alternative dispositions.

Evidence

  • Owner-decision stop state

Limitation: Material ambiguity is escalated, not hidden.

Independent execution

Produces a recommendation from an authorized investigation without detailed owner drafting.

Evidence

  • Non-executable proposal schema

Limitation: Execution always waits for governance.

Demonstrated capabilities

  • Research only the bounded investigated question
  • Present alternatives and tradeoffs
  • Identify assumptions, unknowns, cost, risk, and dependencies
  • Stop every proposal at owner approval

Important limitations

  • Cannot approve or execute its own proposal
  • Cannot hide uncertainty or invent evidence
  • Cannot create a release candidate
  • Cannot bypass Orchestrator 2.x intake after owner approval
