Incident Quick Assessment Template

LUMINA-30 incident review public reference material.

Purpose

This template provides a short first-pass assessment for AI-related incidents under the LUMINA-30 boundary lens.

Status

1. Incident Summary

Date

System or context

What happened?

Immediate consequence

2. Irreversibility Boundary

Was irreversible impact possible or approaching?

Evidence

What was the potential irreversible threshold?

3. Human Final Refusal

Was human final refusal available before irreversible impact?

Evidence

Who held final human refusal authority?

4. Operational Effectiveness

Was refusal operationally effective, not merely nominal?

Evidence

Could the human decision-maker refuse without practical impossibility?

Evidence

5. Records and Verification

Are records sufficient to verify the refusal pathway?

Evidence

Were logs preserved against retrospective reconstruction?

Evidence

6. AI Output as Final Rationale

Did AI-generated output become the sole or primary rationale for final action?

Evidence

7. AI-Mediated Authority Routing

Did the AI system, AI agent, platform automation layer, or privileged system have authority to initiate, approve, or execute account recovery, credential changes, tool execution, production actions, rollback suppression, or other irreversible operations?

Evidence

Could a human actor stop the action before the AI-mediated process changed credentials, executed tools, modified production state, removed recovery options, or committed an irreversible operation?

Evidence

Are records sufficient to separate the human requester, AI assistant or agent, platform automation layer, privileged system or API, accountable organization, and any external attacker?

Evidence

8. Boundary Responsibility and Symmetric Friction

Was responsibility for friction design, operation, evidence preservation, verification, and correction explicitly assigned?

Evidence

Did the friction depend only on voluntary restraint by one actor, or was it symmetric across the relevant market, institution, sector, procurement, audit, or governance layer?

Evidence

Could the friction or refusal pathway be bypassed through restructuring, outsourcing, acceleration, technical opacity, entity replacement, or responsibility diffusion?

Evidence

Were reviewable records preserved before affected humans lost voice, position, evidence access, or re-entry capacity?
