Rates and earned autonomy

Rates say what each human step costs you. A quality plan says how its work is checked, and when the step earns a lighter check.
Each move is an Event gated by evidence, and a lighter check never drops below the grade the Offer sells. Filled: what the buyer sees.
What work costs, and who is paid
The plan prints each Verb's expected cost beside its price: the model, the Sources and the people, from how long the same steps took before.
| Family | What it does |
|---|---|
| Rates | What an hour or a piece of each Role's work costs you: rate on the Role, or on one human step |
| Time capture | A task's time runs from its claim to its completion under its lease, and a worker corrects it before it is approved |
| Retained capacity | A roster member paid for the hours it holds each week, busy or idle, counted in every step's cost |
| Step cost | Each step's expected cost from its history: duration times rate for people, tokens and minutes for agents, and the price of each Source |
| The margin print | The plan prints price, expected cost and margin per Verb, and a price below the expected cost is refused with below_cost |
| Earnings | Each worker's time, pieces and earnings by period, rebuilt from tasks, approved, then paid out on Stripe through the supplier account kind |
| Cost per outcome | Revenue, cost and margin per accepted outcome, by step and by worker, in your sales record |
How a step earns a lighter check
A quality plan per step names who checks, how many outputs, and the agreement the step must keep.
The plan's evidence is the checked outputs themselves. A promotion or a demotion is an Event, so a Watch or your operator sees each one.
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| The check | by names the Role that checks; sample: checks every output, sample: one in ten, chosen at random |
| The bar | at is the agreement the step must keep: the share of checked outputs the checker passes, as a lower bound over the last outputs, never a lucky run |
| Promotion | After earn.after checked outputs at the bar, the step moves to earn.sample, or from a person to an agent behind the same Verb and price |
| Demotion | A lower bound that falls under the bar moves the step back at once, and the outputs since the last pass are checked again |
| The grade holds | The compiler refuses a promotion that would drop below the assurance grade the Offer sells, with grade_unearned |
| Holdouts | A share of a promoted step's outputs is still checked in full, so the evidence for the lighter check stays current |
| Calibration | Gold tasks with known answers enter each checker's queue; a checker below its own bar leaves the queue until it is trained again |
| Findings | Each failed check is classified (wrong, incomplete, late, format, policy), and a corrective action is a task with an owner and a due date |
Example
An agent drafts each report and a paralegal checks every one.
After 200 checked drafts at 98 percent, the step earns a check of one in ten.

Each state is kept on the record, and every move writes its Event.
| Thing | States | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| A step's check | full, sampled, light; then promoted or demoted between them | The evidence its quality plan names; a promotion never passes the Offer's grade |
| A time entry | running, logged, approved, then billed or written_off | A claim and its completion, the worker's correction, a reviewer's approval |
| A worker's earnings | open, closed, paid | The period's end, then a Stripe payout to the worker's account |
| A gold task | seeded, answered, scored | Its place in a checker's queue, the checker's answer, its known answer |
| A checker | calibrated, drifting, retraining | Its agreement on gold tasks against its bar |
| A finding | raised, classified, actioned, closed | A failed check, a reviewer, the corrective task and its owner |
What buyers, workers and your team meet
- A buyer. The grade on the offer card, the share of outputs checked, and the same grade whether a person or an agent did the work.
- A worker. Its tasks, its time, its earnings each period, and a payout on Stripe.
- A checker. Gold tasks mixed into its queue, its own agreement, and findings it classifies with one list.
- Your team. The cost of every step, the margin of every outcome, and each promotion as an Event with its evidence.
A step earns a lighter check only on evidence, and never below the grade the Offer sells, so autonomy grows without the promise changing.
