Claim Boundary Dental Stick
Cleans plaque from capability claims before they bite legal.
Plain English: Public language should state what was verified, what remains uncertain, and what the system does not do.
What this snack represents
Cleans plaque from capability claims before they bite legal. A copy-review chew for downgrading claims that outrun evidence, authority, or human review.
Plain English: Public language should state what was verified, what remains uncertain, and what the system does not do.
Formula: 15m scan + 15m downgrade + 10m evidence link + 15m human-review gate
What this teaches: Claim Boundary, Autonomy-Washing, Human Review Gate.
Why teams underestimate it
The shelf label works because the cost is usually hidden across clarification, review, context switching, QA, and follow-up decisions. BarkBowl makes those ingredients visible before the work is treated as free.
Time formula
15m scan + 15m downgrade + 10m evidence link + 15m human-review gate
Worked example
One serving of Claim Boundary Dental Stick is currently modeled at 55 minutes, or 0.92 person-hours. Multiply servings when the work repeats, spreads across more people, or needs another review cycle.
Warning label
May reduce launch-deck excitement.
Evidence needed
Before committing this snack, collect an owner, a reason, a time formula, a rollback or no-op alternative, and a short explanation of what the receipt does and does not prove.
How to reduce the cost
Autonomy-Washing Warning Chews
No-op alternative
If evidence, authority, or capacity is missing, the mature move may be to record a no-op decision and revisit when the missing ingredient exists.
