A defined chain of responsibility specifying, across roles and levels, who decides, who reviews, and who is answerable for AI-supported outcomes; a superordinate governance structure rather than a discrete countable event.
Superordinate framework term; not operationalized as a per-interaction event. It denotes the mapping of decision, review, and answerability roles for an AI-supported process; measurement attaches to properties of an instantiated chain (e.g., completeness of role assignment) rather than to counting the chain itself.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Not directly measured; superordinate term.
