When not to automate
Automation stop conditions
Some work should not be automated.
Stop when the evidence is weak, the data is missing, the claim is risky, or the next action is unclear.
Human reviewer required
Use a human reviewer when the workflow touches public claims, competitor comparisons, legal language, pricing, customer results, or publishing.
Claim and compliance risk
If CLEA cannot prove a claim, it should not write it as fact.
It can say what proof is missing. It can suggest where the proof should go. It should not pretend the proof exists.
CLEA boundary
CLEA is strongest when it inspects evidence and drafts next steps.
It is weaker when it is asked to make final business decisions without review.
Stop at judgment
Do not automate final business decisions.
Ask a question
Turn unclear results into a human review step.
Keep evidence visible
Show what CLEA inspected and what is missing.
Resume later
Automate only after the decision rule is clear.
Manual follow-up
When automation should stop, turn the result into a question.
Do not create a card yet. Show me what evidence is missing and what a human should decide before this becomes work.
