Turn repeated catches into controls

A five-step method for converting recurring human attention into an automated check that proves its own failure path.

The important distinction

A convention asks people and agents to remember. A control changes what the system permits.

The control is incomplete until its negative path has been observed. A green check proves very little if nobody has watched it fail for the exact condition it claims to block.

What should remain human

The method does not try to automate every review comment. Whether a page feels calm, whether a claim is appropriately confident, and whether a product move is worthwhile are judgment problems. The useful boundary is between factual invariants and decisions that require taste.
