Question
The three-question power test
Answer
Who decides? Who gains? Who bears the cost of an error?
Question
Why is the error question strongest?
Answer
In almost every system the decision and the gain sit in one place and the cost of error sits with somebody else.
Question
Why does an error weigh differently?
Answer
For the organisation it is an acceptable percentage; for the person it is their whole outcome.
Question
What changes the distribution of risk?
Answer
A real route to human review — which makes it a design question rather than a verdict on automation.
