User-selected scenario, not an expected outcome.

Every consequential external action pauses for explicit human approval.

Autonomy by business phase

Current level 2/5. Potential level 3/5 in 1–3 months.

1

Validate

AI-assisted

AI checks whether assumptions are complete; the human validates them.

2

Build

AI-assisted

AI calculates scenarios and capacity constraints.

3

Acquire customers

Human-led

No customer acquisition is performed.

4

Deliver

AI-assisted

AI produces a planning worksheet, not financial advice.

5

Collect and operate

Human-led

The operator owns pricing, cash, tax, and business decisions.

AI responsibilities

  • Check inputs
  • Calculate scenarios
  • Show formulas
  • Stress-test capacity

Human responsibilities

  • Provide actual costs
  • Choose the target scenario
  • Validate taxes and fees
  • Make pricing decisions

Approval gates

Approval applies to the exact action once. It is not blanket permission.

Build a cash-flow and pricing scenario from only the numbers I provide. Ask for price, variable cost, fixed monthly cost, platform/payment fees, fulfillment hours per sale, monthly capacity, refund or nonpayment assumption, tax reserve assumption, starting cash, and my selected monthly revenue target band. Do not fill missing inputs with optimistic defaults.

Show formulas and return an assumption ledger, contribution margin, break-even units, capacity ceiling, minimum sustainable price, and downside/base/upside scenarios. Label every scenario "Projection — not an expected outcome." For each scenario show units required, gross revenue, cash costs, labor hours, and pre-tax remainder. Highlight where the target exceeds capacity or starting cash. Never describe projected revenue as earned, observed, likely, or guaranteed. End with the three inputs that most affect the answer and the next number I should verify.

REQUIRED INPUTS
1. Price
2. Variable and fixed costs
3. Fees
4. Hours and capacity
5. Refund and tax assumptions
6. Starting cash
7. Selected target band

OUTPUT CONTRACT
1. Assumption ledger
2. Visible formulas
3. Break-even and capacity
4. Three explicitly projected scenarios
5. Sensitivity notes

COMPLETION CRITERIA
1. Gross revenue and profit are distinct
2. Missing inputs remain missing
3. Every scenario carries the projection warning

Stop and escalate

  • Price, variable cost, or capacity is unknown
  • A requested conclusion depends on individualized tax or investment advice
  • Accounting treatment is unclear
  • The plan risks insolvency or regulated financial claims

Known failure modes

  • Omitting labor and refunds
  • Treating gross revenue as profit
  • Displaying scenario values as observed results
