WEKID Counterfactual Decision Gate: Autonomous Swarm Containment

An executable reference demonstration. Representative incident actions are evaluated through the Epistemic Maturity Model, Trust Bridge, Decision Authority Model and a fail-closed enforcement point.

“Authority should be earned.”Failure pattern: authority–maturity mismatch

Maturity evidence, risk and policy determine who or what may decide.

Counterfactual condition: consequential actions must traverse the named enforcement domain. Scores and thresholds are illustrative, not validated calibration.
