First Use Questions

Purpose

This file provides the first questions to ask before applying the full LUMINA-30 boundary review.

Gate 1: Is this relevant?

1. Did the case involve an AI system or AI-generated output?

2. Did the case involve a decision, action, recommendation, automation, or approval pathway?

3. Could the outcome have produced irreversible or difficult-to-reverse external impact?

If all answers are No, LUMINA-30 boundary review may not be necessary.

Gate 2: Was refusal relevant?

1. Was there a point where a human could have refused, stopped, or overridden the process?

2. Was that point before irreversible impact?

3. Was the human refusal pathway operationally available?

Gate 3: Can it be verified?

1. Are logs available?

2. Are approval records available?

3. Is the final human decision-maker identifiable?

4. Is the refusal pathway documented?

5. Are records protected from retrospective reconstruction?

Proceed If

Proceed to the full Boundary Check if:

• AI involvement is present;

• irreversible or difficult-to-reverse impact is possible;

• human refusal authority is relevant;

• records require verification.
