DEFINITION

Human role to multi-agent responsibility mapping is the practice of translating human work roles into lifecycle responsibility objects before agent roles execute or delegate work.

Why ordinary model/tool governance is insufficient

Human-in-the-loop is necessary but insufficient when the loop does not name the human role, delegated authority, accepted outcome owner, dispute owner, remediation owner, or cross-project reuse boundary.

White paper source context

This playbook is a practical reading of the GAIC white paper's lifecycle-responsibility argument. For this route, the relevant responsibility objects are Role responsibility, Authority boundary, Accepted outcome, Cross-system handoff, Reuse permission, Remediation closure. RCCS-M and ALCS are used as source vocabulary for governance coverage and lifecycle coherence; this page does not add scores or become legal advice, certification, procurement guidance, or a vendor assessment.

Lifecycle governance checklist

  1. Name the human role that owns intent, authority, review, acceptance, dispute, and remediation.
  2. Separate agent role labels from the human responsibility they represent.
  3. Define delegated authority before tool action or downstream agent delegation occurs.
  4. Assign accepted outcome ownership to a human or organizational role.
  5. Assign dispute and remediation ownership before failures appear.
  6. Apply cross-project reuse caution when context, evidence, or generated work may move between projects.

RCCS-M / ALCS relevance

RCCS-M is relevant because role mapping must become lifecycle-object coverage. ALCS is relevant because responsibility can fragment when work crosses multiple agents, tools, projects, or review states.

Protocol path: MPLP as one option

MPLP can express role, authority, evidence, and outcome boundaries as one protocol path. It is not presented as the only or required path.
