Define error budget thresholds in three tiers—green (within budget, no action), yellow (approaching limits, investigate), red (exceeded, halt and redesign)—with pre-committed responses for each zone.
When a verification signal degrades, escalate to deeper sampling; when sampling reveals a pattern, trigger a structural audit; when an audit reveals a structural problem, modify the delegation itself—this creates a cascading response protocol where each verification layer can activate the next.
When someone repeatedly violates a clearly stated boundary, escalate from describing the behavior to naming the pattern ('I've mentioned several times that...') before consequences, as pattern-naming often produces adjustment where single-instance feedback did not.
After the first boundary violation by the same person, conduct repair with clearly stated consequences; after the second violation, enact the stated consequences rather than issuing new warnings, to distinguish boundary flexibility from boundary erosion.
