Responsibilities

Build & Own Feasibility and Authority Models
Design and implement models that encode command hierarchy, authority limits, and policy rules into formal feasibility checks
Convert AI-agent outputs (LLMs, planners, probabilistic models) into deterministic, enforceable constraints before execution
Ensure that authority and policy interpretations are traceable, inspectable, and safe
Build and maintain a centralized constraint framework used across optimization and planning systems
Encode: Authority rules, Compatibility constraints, Timing windows, Asset availability and readiness
Surface clear diagnostics for infeasible plans and constraint violations so humans and machines can understand what failed and why
Own the data inputs required for feasibility and constraint enforcement
Define and enforce data contracts, normalization, and validation pipelines
Build robustness against incomplete, delayed, or noisy operational data
Integrate feasibility checks into real-time and batch planning pipelines
Partner with optimization and execution teams to gate all actions on valid, policy-compliant inputs
Validate system behavior using scenario testing, simulations, and operational feedback from real users
