Two axes of a launch

Two axes of a launchTwo axes of a launch: availability stages from design partners to general availability, and autonomy levels from shadow through assisted and supervised to allowlisted autonomy, with a rule that no account moves up the autonomy axis faster than its admin opts inAutonomy: what it may do on its own ↑Autonomous: allowlisted,low-risk onlySupervised: acts after approvalAssisted: suggests, never actsShadow: runs, users don't see itDesignpartnersEarly accessLimitedavailabilityGeneralavailabilityAvailability: who can use it, on what terms →Each account climbs only as fast as its admin opts in

An AI launch moves on two axes. Availability stages say who can use the feature and on what terms; autonomy levels (a simplified launch view of Chapter 31's L1 to L5 scale) say what it may do without a person. The line shows a typical path, where most accounts sit at each stage. The launch plan sets a ceiling for each stage, and each customer's admin decides where their account sits below it.
