Every significant decision moves through a defined chain. Here is how a One Way Door decision flows from implementation to final approval.
1
Execution
AI team implements the feature and verifies technical feasibility.
2
DevX
BA confirms requirements, QA validates test results and Senior Developer approves code quality.
3
Advisory Boards
Relevant boards review for domain correctness, methodology, architecture and implementation quality.
4
Strategic Reviews
For One Way Door decisions only: quantitative risk, first-principles integrity and infrastructure scaling are reviewed.
5
KS
Final authority. Validates alignment with founding philosophy and approves or sends back with guidance.
For Two Way Door decisions, the chain stops at Advisory Boards, strategic reviews are not consulted and KS approval may be delegated. The classification of One Way versus Two Way is itself reviewable: if someone believes a decision was misclassified, they can escalate.
