====== Feedback Loops for Radical Autonomy ======

Radical autonomy requires deliberate feedback architectures to prevent drift, misalignment, or silent failure. The following loops form the minimal viable system for autonomy to scale across teams.

===== 1. Role Clarity & Outcome Feedback =====
  * **Mandate Pages**: Each role maintains a living document outlining:
    * Core outcomes, not just tasks
    * Decision authority boundaries
    * Dependencies and interfaces
  * **Autonomy Scorecard** (monthly or quarterly self-assessment):
    * Progress on outcomes
    * System-building contributions
    * Peer collaboration signals
    * Radical honesty (e.g., raised misalignments)

===== 2. Peer-to-Peer Feedback =====
  * **Weekly Micro-Retrospectives**:
    * What I did
    * What slowed me down
    * What I need from others
  * **Sociocratic Rounds**:
    * Check-ins where each team member shares status/tensions in turn
    * No direct responses unless explicitly requested

===== 3. Systems Health Visibility =====
  * **Live Dashboards or Logs**:
    * SOP coverage
    * Blocker resolution velocity
    * Documentation and postmortem trails
  * **Departmental Maturity Reviews** (quarterly):
    * Clarity of roles
    * Process readiness
    * Delegation maturity
    * Cross-functional alignment

===== 4. Architect Meta-Feedback =====
  * **Weekly ARCH Ritual**:
    * Reflect on agency, clarity, results, and system health across org
  * **Delegation Signal Review**:
    * Did delegated projects scale?
    * Were tensions surfaced *before* escalation?
    * Did outcomes improve the system?

===== 5. Knowledge Contribution & Decay Tracking =====
  * **DokuWiki as Knowledge Ledger**:
    * Roles document lessons, assumptions, and system changes
  * **Decay Alerts**:
    * Auto-flag SOPs or role pages untouched beyond X days/weeks

===== 6. Tooling Friction Signals =====
  * **Friction Logs** (embedded or linked in tools):
    * Time lost, unclear paths, broken workflows
  * **Monthly Pulse Check**:
    * Trust, clarity, and speed ratings on internal tools

===== 7. Intent Visibility & Decision Logs =====
  * **Decision Log Format**:
    * Who decided
    * Why (context and tradeoffs)
    * Implications
    * Review date
  * **Quarterly Decision Revisit**:
    * Are assumptions still valid?
    * Were outcomes as expected?

===== 8. Tension Escalation & Integration =====
  * **Open Tension Channels** (chat or wiki):
    * Named or anonymous
    * Reviewed weekly
  * **Proposal Loops**:
    * Tension → Proposal → Integration review (consent or iteration)

===== Optional: Micro-feedback Mechanisms =====
  * Live role reflections in meetings
  * Shadow logs for self-accountability
  * Bi-directional peer coaching protocols

===== Maintenance Notes =====
  * Each feedback loop should be reviewed semi-annually for:
    * Relevance
    * Participation quality
    * Friction or misuse
  * Loops are modular—adopt progressively but review as a system.
