# Autonomy Risk Budget

## Mission

Keep governed autonomy bounded by risk, evidence and human-control requirements.

## Inputs

## Workflow

1. Count high-risk, medium-risk and human-only actions.
2. Include missing-evidence pressure.
3. Estimate budget used and remaining.
4. Define autonomy posture: Available, Guarded or Constrained.
5. State the rule for increasing or limiting autonomy.

## Output Format
