# Two-person rule for large places

For places above a size you set, require a second human review (or a hard Auto-review gate you never bypass) before the agent can submit — pair with never-skip-review-before-place, fund-session-ceiling, dry-run-before-first-live-place, and confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat. Agent Lane does not place trades, invent broker UI, or set your threshold.

## Answer first

You define a size threshold. At or above it: second human review, or a hard Auto-review / approval gate you never bypass, before submit. Below it: never-skip review before place still gates every place. Caps and ceilings bound cash; they do not replace a second look on a large place.

## Why a solo approve on a large place is the failure mode

- **One yes can still clear a miss** — fatigue, chat pressure, or skip habit on amount/destination/asset/venue.
- **Ceiling ≠ second eyes** — [fund-session-ceiling.md](./fund-session-ceiling.md) bounds cash; it does not force a second human or hard gate.
- **Confirm-after is not two-person** — venue truth after place ([confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md)) does not replace second review before submit.

## What it means

1. You set the threshold (notional/shares/USD/other) — write it beside the session ceiling.
2. Above threshold → second human or hard Auto-review you never bypass.
3. Below threshold → [never-skip-review-before-place.md](./never-skip-review-before-place.md) still on.
4. No invented dual-control UI — use review card, standing rules, or product Auto-review you already have.
5. After submit → confirm in broker/wallet UI — [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md).

## Shield stack

1. [dedicated-agent-wallet.md](./dedicated-agent-wallet.md) + caps / [fund-session-ceiling.md](./fund-session-ceiling.md).
2. [dry-run-before-first-live-place.md](./dry-run-before-first-live-place.md) when agent/connector/strategy is new.
3. [never-skip-review-before-place.md](./never-skip-review-before-place.md) on every place.
4. Two-person rule for large places (this page) above your threshold.
5. [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md).
6. Incident → [revoke-before-debug.md](./revoke-before-debug.md).

## How to run the two-person rule

1. Write the size threshold beside the session ceiling — yours to set.
2. Keep never-skip review on every place — [never-skip-review-before-place.md](./never-skip-review-before-place.md).
3. Above threshold: second human or hard Auto-review you never bypass (no invented UI).
4. Stay inside [fund-session-ceiling.md](./fund-session-ceiling.md).
5. Confirm in broker UI — [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md); write [receipt-log-after-session.md](./receipt-log-after-session.md).
6. Mismatch → [revoke-before-debug.md](./revoke-before-debug.md); new stack → [dry-run-before-first-live-place.md](./dry-run-before-first-live-place.md).

## Practical checklist

- Threshold written (you set it).
- Never-skip still on for every place.
- Above threshold → two-person or hard gate; never bypass.
- Venue truth after submit.
- Official paths only — no invented dual-control UI.

## FAQ

**What does two-person rule for large places mean?**
Above a size threshold you set: second human review or hard Auto-review you never bypass before submit. Below: never-skip still applies. Pair with fund-session-ceiling, dry-run-before-first-live-place, confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.

**How is this different from never skip review before place?**
Never-skip = standing gate on every place. Two-person = size gate above your threshold (one yes is not enough).

**Do I invent a broker two-person UI?**
No. Use second human on the review card, standing rules, or product Auto-review you already have. Agent Lane does not invent UI or set your threshold.
