Glossary of Intervention Readiness.

The vocabulary of the category, defined once. Each term is used the same way across the site, the schema and the verdict.

Intervention Readiness

The ability of an organisation to detect, escalate, decide and intervene before harm becomes irreversible.

AGDA

Intervene's proprietary assessment of Intervention Readiness. A full AGDA Assessment assesses whether an organisation can detect the need to intervene, escalate appropriately, decide with authority and intervene effectively in a consequential AI-enabled system before the opportunity to do so is lost.

Intervention Chain

The sequence of detect, escalate, decide and intervene that must complete within the reversibility window.

Effective Human Oversight

Oversight in which humans are informed, authorised and able to alter or halt outcomes before the harm window closes.

Point of Irreversibility

The moment after which intervention can no longer change the outcome.

Evidence Quality Constraint

The way a stage's evidence quality constrains confidence; weak evidence cannot inflate the result.

Chain Propagation

The logic by which the weakest stage constrains the assessed capability of the whole chain.

Repeatable Computation

With fixed inputs and fixed engine and assessment versions, the AGDA engine produces the same computed result. Scenario definition, evidence grading and interpretation remain Intervene's judgement.

Intervention Capability Assessment

A forward assessment of whether intervention can occur in time for a named system, pathway and scenario.
