ARM™
Agentic Roadmap Manager™
ARM™ turns “AI ambition” into a staged autonomy roadmap that never outruns the organization.
What ARM™ Is
ARM™ — Agentic Roadmap Manager™ is a structured planning and governance system that translates executive AI intent into a sequenced, reviewable autonomy plan. Instead of jumping from pilots to agents overnight, ARM™ designs how autonomy should grow, where it must stop, and what must be proven before it advances.
It answers the question leaders quietly struggle with:
“What level of autonomy are we actually ready for—right now?”
Who It’s For
-
CEO / President: Wants progress without reputational or operational shock.
-
COO: Needs autonomy to match real process maturity.
-
CIO / CTO: Needs a roadmap that aligns architecture, tools, and capability growth.
-
CISO / GC: Needs clear boundaries between assistive, advisory, and binding systems.
The Problem It Solves
Most organizations fail with AI agents in the same way:
-
Strategy jumps straight to autonomy
-
Capability maturity is assumed, not tested
-
Escalation and override are added after incidents
-
Leaders cannot explain why a system was “allowed” to act
The result isn’t reckless AI. It’s misaligned autonomy.
ARM™ prevents this by making autonomy earned, not assumed.
What ARM™ Manages
ARM™ designs and governs five dimensions of agentic readiness:
1) Decision Authority
What the system may suggest, recommend, execute, or bind.
2) Human-in-the-Loop Design
Where humans review, override, approve, or audit, and why.
3) Escalation Paths
When uncertainty, novelty, or impact crosses a threshold.
4) Organizational Readiness
Training, ownership, accountability, and operational support.
5) Governance Coverage
Auditability, logging, exception handling, and rollback capability.
What ARM™ Delivers
Agentic Autonomy Roadmap
A staged, time-bound plan that defines:
-
Current allowable autonomy
-
Next permissible stage
-
Gating requirements to advance
-
Explicit “not yet” boundaries
Autonomy Gating Criteria
Clear, testable requirements before autonomy increases:
-
Data quality thresholds
-
Decision reversibility
-
Monitoring and alerting readiness
-
Human escalation viability
Executive-Readable Autonomy Map
Risk-Aligned Deployment Plan
A simple, defensible view of:
-
Where agents exist today
-
What they are allowed to do
-
What they will be allowed to do next
-
What would stop progression
Autonomy expands where risk is low and value is high, not where hype is loudest.
FAQs
Q: Is ARM™ a technical architecture tool?
A: No. It governs when and how technical autonomy is allowed—not how models are built.
Q: Does this slow innovation?
A: It removes false starts. Teams move faster when boundaries are explicit.
Q: Can this work with our existing AI tools and agents?
A: Yes. ARM™ sits above tools and vendors—it governs behavior, not platforms.
Q: How does this relate to governance and compliance?
A: ARM™ defines autonomy stages; governance ensures those stages are respected and auditable.
Q: What’s the first tangible output?
A: A clear, defensible agentic autonomy roadmap that leadership can stand behind.
