Human-gated action
A task an autonomous system is barred from executing without an explicit human decision, no matter how it is configured. The fixed set of such actions, enforced in code, is the 'blocked floor.'
A human-gated action is a task an autonomous system is barred from executing without explicit human decision, regardless of configuration. A BLOCKED floor is the fixed set of such actions enforced in code — in property management, typically evictions, rental applicant denials, security deposit deductions, and fair-housing-sensitive actions.
Put plainly, it is the list of things the AI must hand to you no matter what — not because it cannot, but because those decisions must stay yours.
Why it matters: these are where legal liability concentrates, and where courts ask who decided. A floor that is merely a setting can be toggled off; a floor enforced at the execution layer cannot. Aptoria enforces its blocked floor in code, beneath the thresholds you control, so no configuration can turn it off. This is general education, not legal advice.
