      "Excerpt": "## Problem\n\nWe're piloting kcp-agent as the enforcement layer under an internal governance model for a small SaaS org (\"Tillitsbro\" below — anonymized) that lets human staff and AI agents jointly run customer-facing workflows. The model requires: *\"critical tasks must halt if the agent's own confidence in its conclusion falls below a calibrated threshold — before the conclusion is acted on.\"*\n\nConcretely: an agent drafts a customer-facing risk assessment. The org's policy says anything below 70%",
