Authority, roles and governance controls for Cera.

Human Authority by Design

  • Cera supports project execution.
  • Cera does not replace project accountability.
  • The Project Manager remains responsible for project decisions.
  • The schedule owner remains responsible for schedule integrity.
  • AI recommendations remain recommendations until an authorized human accepts them.
  • All controlled Cera actions require explicit authority.
  • Every consequential action must be traceable.
