Operating model
PillarMesh is being designed to automate repeatable data engineering work inside a scope that people have explicitly accepted. Automation may carry out a plan; it does not own the decision to broaden that plan.
Automatic, bounded work
Section titled “Automatic, bounded work”Within an accepted Integration Contract, the planned platform may:
- normalize the contract into an IIR;
- apply deterministic legality and feasibility checks;
- produce a physical plan and execution graph;
- operate the accepted graph within its declared boundaries;
- reconcile observed outcomes; and
- record attributable evidence.
If no legal and feasible plan exists, the compiler returns No Valid Plan with attributable constraints. The system does not silently weaken the contract, substitute an unsupported provider, or treat a generated assumption as permission.
Human authority
Section titled “Human authority”People remain responsible for:
- declaring the intended outcome and supported scope;
- authorizing access to data systems;
- accepting policy, cost, and operational boundaries;
- approving actions that are destructive or otherwise require explicit authority; and
- reviewing plans, exceptions, reconciliation, and evidence.
AI assistance is limited to interpretation, explanation, and candidate generation. The complete AI authority boundary remains deterministic and attributable across the operating model.
What this is not
Section titled “What this is not”PillarMesh is planned only for contract-scoped integration work, not as a general-purpose scheduler. Each execution graph represents bounded work for an accepted Integration Contract; it does not coordinate arbitrary workflows.
