What it does
Dial introduces a simple threshold: a human stands behind an outcome before it is released, executed, or published. The goal is not to slow everything down—only the moments that carry consequence.
The Door
The Door is the pause before action. It is not a feature; it is a boundary condition that preserves agency under scale. Nothing is implied. Responsibility is chosen.
What it is not
Dial is not an AI model, not a filter, not enforcement, and not a certification mark. Dial indicates provenance and explicit human responsibility only.
If you see a Dial mark, it means a specific origin category applies and a human responsibility step occurred.
