mcp_contract.yaml
Tools, resources, auth scope, and transport boundaries.
One critical workflow, built to survive production.
I design the logic, controls, and operator artifacts that keep cross-system work reliable under real load. Start with one workflow wedge. Add Policy OS when the cost of failure rises.
How I Work
Start with one workflow. Add controls as failure cost rises. Extend only when the environment demands it.
1
Lane 1
Workflow Infrastructure
I map the business rules, auth boundaries, and failure paths for the workflow that matters most.
2
Lane 2
Policy OS
I add approval rules, release gates, blocked states, and incident reviews so automation keeps working as scope expands.
3
Lane 3
Enterprise Extension
I build the orchestration layer for workflows that cross systems, teams, or compliance boundaries.
What's Included
Each lane adds a clear control layer. You know what gets built, what gets governed, and what your team inherits.
Workflow Infrastructure
One critical workflow, implemented with explicit business rules and trust boundaries.
Includes
- Workflow endpoints
- Business-rule mapping
- Secure auth boundaries
- Handoff artifacts
The real product
Policy OS
The controls layer for production automation: approval rules, release checks, blocked states, and review loops.
Includes
- Pre-release quality gates
- Policy and approval boundaries
- Postmortem loops
- Monthly tuning
Enterprise Extension
The orchestration layer for auditability, deterministic retries, and cross-system coordination.
Includes
- Cross-system orchestration
- Auditability controls
- Deterministic retries
- Architecture support
The Model
Connecting tools is getting easier. Governing live workflows is not.
The hard part is deciding what can run automatically, what needs approval, and what must stop with a reason. That is the work.
- Safe actions run automatically once the workflow and tenant are in good standing.
- Risky actions route to approval instead of becoming cleanup.
- Disallowed actions stop with a reason buyers and operators can both understand.
When a client primarily needs full system development and team onboarding, I refer that engagement to Half Dozen directly.
Reliable workflows are the product. Operational leverage is the outcome.
Governed Execution
Policy OS
Hub MCP routes the request, and Policy OS decides what can run automatically, what waits for approval, and what stops with a reason.

Workflow System
Safe actions run fast. Risky actions route to approval. Disallowed actions stop with a reason.
Operating Artifacts
What makes Policy OS durable
The buyer promise is backed by explicit contracts, runbooks, and release evidence, not by founder memory or hidden prompts.
agent_contract.yaml
Allowed actions, approvals, escalation triggers, and operating limits.
outcome_contract.md
Success metrics, manual fallback, and ownership boundaries.
runbook.md
Recovery steps, operator lanes, and rollback expectations.
golden-task checks
Regression evidence that keeps releases tied to real workflow behavior.
Map the workflow that cannot fail.
In one session, I will map the trust boundary, failure modes, and artifact bundle your team would need.
