  Justice

  Who is heard, who is harmed, and who decides.

  Trust

  Name who holds the consequence before it is needed.

Starter questions

Written to probe curiosity and learning, not accusation.

1. 01If a colleague raised this concern tomorrow, how would we receive it as inquiry rather than accusation?
2. 02What capacity would we need — in people, in the institution, in the tools — to meet this well?
3. 03What would Dignity require of us here, before we proceed?
4. 04What might we be missing if we treat “Deployer liability” only as a technical problem?
