RiskMandateThe usage moment, and the three questions behind it.
The point of the programme is to find the moment an Agent Behaviour Policy becomes worth something to a particular person. Three questions follow from it. This page holds them, and the findings as they come in, counted from the follow-ups rather than remembered.
Status, from docs/reality.md: shipped v0.1.0 The three questions the programme exists to answer, with a findings table that starts empty
The three questions
One agent, a few rows, the gap found. Perhaps a system prompt turned into rows, as in system prompts as behaviour policies; perhaps a skill checked against its mandate; perhaps one agent's reach, measured.
A reader once told us the pages were hard to understand. The start-here page has to fix that, and each customer will show us where it does not.
The credit tells us how much each customer uses before they would top up, and the follow-up tells us why.
What we track, per customer
The things are simple, and they are on every customer page: when they started, when they wrote their first behaviour policy, how many rows and gaps it has, which milestone steps are done, what they used of the credit, and whether they topped up. The batch table on the customers page is those fields, one row per customer, and the counts on the home page are their sums.
Findings
A finding is a pattern across customers, read from the second follow-up answer, with the number of customers who hit it. The table starts empty on purpose; a finding typed before it was counted would be a guess.

What a finding changes
- Q1 changes the first step. If the simplest useful behaviour policy turns out to be a system prompt turned into rows, the start-here page's third step changes to say so.
- Q2 changes the start-here page. Each place a customer got stuck is a sentence to rewrite, and the next batch's start-here page is made from this one plus those sentences.
- Q3 changes the number. The starting credit and the price per use are starting points. When the batch has answered, the number on the credit page changes, with the count it came from.
