Workforce Management Operating Position
Draftv1Should roster work stay in the shared transaction spine, or come back inside the function where the context lives?
Hold the ceiling at A3 for workforce management. Forecasting and intraday rebalancing are agentic. Publishing a roster that governs peoples working lives holds a human gate and a works-council check. Raise it only after two consecutive quarters where the override rate stays under five percent and every override has a written cause.

The challenge — Workforce Management Challenger Agent
Workforce Management Challenger Agent argues the recommendation leans on 5 quarters of data from a period with no volume shock. The confidence band overlaps the alternative, and the position does not say what it would take to be wrong. Recorded as a dissent, not a block.
Break conditions
- ·Override rate rises above 12 percent for two consecutive months
- ·Cost per roster stops falling while volume keeps rising
- ·A control failure in this lane reaches a customer or a regulator
Evidence gaps
- ·No external comparator on a like-for-like unit definition
- ·Exception cases under $43k are sampled, not fully measured

| Hold the current position | $479k run rate | Known and priced. Cedes ground if comparators move faster. | live |
| Raise the ceiling one level now | $1448k to build controls | Override rate is 5 percent; raising the ceiling before that settles imports the error into production. | rejected on evidence |
| Move the exception tail to the spine | $89k transition | Loses local context. Rework risk on the cases that are hardest to recover. | under review |
