ACT Capability Tier Classifier

CP.3 v3.0

Answer 6 questions about your agent. Receive your ACT tier, mandatory controls, and governance requirements.

CP.10 HEAR Designation Required
This tier requires a named Human Ethical Agent of Record with a cryptographic signing key before production deployment. This is a first-in-field governance standard — no other framework defines this.
CP.9 Agent Replication Governance Required
Orchestrators spawning sub-agents must implement lineage tokens, delegation hop limits (max 3), ephemeral credentials, and 500ms kill-switch tree. First-in-field: no other framework covers agent replication.
🛑
CP.8 Catastrophic Risk Thresholds — Deployment Blocker
Document behavioral indicators that trigger emergency suspension before deployment is approved. Required for all ACT-3 and ACT-4 agents.
