The Framework

Human Authority Index

The HAI is a proprietary framework for assessing and designing the level of human decision authority across roles, processes and systems.

It provides a structured, measurable approach to a question most organisations have not yet asked: where should humans retain authority — and where should they not?

Define human authority before systems define it for you.
