— Decision Authority Before Execution —

Before AI makes decisions that commit your capital, affect your customers, or create risk — define who's in charge.

You know you need to automate. You may have already started. Mesa Point maps the decisions inside your specific initiative and defines who owns each one — before automation executes.

What Mesa Point Does

Three phases. One initiative at a time. Authority defined before code is written.

01
Week 1–2

Discovery

We research your organization before our first conversation. Then we interview 5–8 stakeholders across every function your initiative touches. We map every decision — who makes it today, what triggers it, what happens when it's wrong.

Output

Complete decision inventory with authority gaps identified and exposure quantified.

02
Week 2–4

Authority Design

For every decision in the initiative, we define: who owns it, what limits apply, what triggers escalation, what conditions require a full stop, and what must never be automated. Authority is made explicit — not implied, not assumed.

Output

Decision authority matrices, escalation paths, stop conditions, "Do Not Automate" designations.

03
Week 4–6

Validation & Delivery

We validate the authority framework with your leadership and the people who will live inside it. We deliver board-ready documentation your executives can present and engineer-ready specs your team can build from.

Output

Board-ready executive summary, engineer-ready technical specs, governance framework, authority transfer to your team.

The Authority Constructs

What we define for every decision in your initiative.

These aren't abstract governance principles. They're operational specifications that tell your team exactly how authority works when automation is running.

Decision Authority

Who owns the decision

Named ownership for every automated decision. Not a department — a person with defined authority and accountability.

Approval Thresholds

What limits apply

The boundaries within which automation can execute without human review. Dollar amounts, risk levels, exception types — every threshold defined.

Escalation Paths

When to elevate

What triggers escalation, who receives it, how fast they must respond. No decision falls through the cracks.

Stop / Pause Authority

When to halt execution

Conditions under which automation must stop entirely. Who has override authority. What happens during the pause.

Finality Controls

Irreversible decision limits

Decisions that commit capital, change contracts, or create compliance exposure require specific human authorization before execution.

Do Not Automate

What requires human judgment

Decisions where automation creates more risk than value — relationship-sensitive, regulatory, strategic. Flagged explicitly with reasoning.
