What does two-person rule for large places mean?

It means: you set a size threshold (notional, shares, USD, or other unit you already use). For any place at or above that threshold, a second human must review — or a hard Auto-review gate you never bypass must clear — before the agent can submit. Below the threshold, never-skip review before place still applies. Pair with fund the session ceiling, dry run before first live place, and confirm fills in the broker, not chat.

How is this different from never skip review before place?

Never skip review before place is the standing human gate on every place — amount, destination, asset, venue shown; no skip-the-card habit. Two-person rule for large places is the size gate: above your threshold, one human yes is not enough — you need a second human review or a hard Auto-review gate you never bypass.

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

Caps and a session ceiling bound how much cash the sleeve holds. Review bounds whether a place happens. On a large place, one rushed approve — fatigue, chat pressure, or a skip habit — can still clear a miss that hurts. A second set of eyes (or a hard gate you never bypass) is the cheap insurance above the size you set.

Do I invent a broker two-person UI?

No. Define the threshold yourself (write it). Use a second human on the review card, a standing rule the agent must obey, or a hard Auto-review / approval gate your stack already exposes that you never bypass. Agent Lane does not invent broker menus, dual-control screens, or product click-paths.

Who sets the size threshold?

You do. Pick a notional, share count, USD, or other unit that matches how you already size places. Write it next to the session ceiling. Agent Lane does not set a dollar number for you.

Does the two-person rule replace confirm-fills or dry-run?

No. Keep never skip review before place on for every place. Above threshold, add second human or hard Auto-review. After submit, confirm fills in the broker or wallet UI — not chat. On a new agent, connector, or strategy, still dry run before first live place.

Where do I apply this next?

Standing gate: never skip review before place. Cash: fund the session ceiling. Novelty: dry run before first live place. Venue truth: confirm fills in the broker, not chat. Incident: revoke before you debug. Agent Lane publishes the checklist; we do not place trades or hold wallets.

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 it with never skip review before place, fund the session ceiling, dry run before first live place, and confirm fills in the broker, not chat.

Answer first

You define a size threshold. For any agent place at or above that threshold, a two-person rule applies: a second human reviews, or a hard Auto-review / approval gate you never bypass must clear, before submit. Below the threshold, 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. Agent Lane publishes the checklist. We do not place trades, hold wallets, invent broker UI, or run your agents.

What this page is

A short operator guide for the size gate on the shield — large places need more than one rushed yes. Pair it with never skip review before place, fund the session ceiling, dry run before first live place, confirm fills in the broker, not chat, review before place, agent spend caps, receipt log after the session, and the shared-box checklist.

We are a publisher, not a trading desk. Product screens change; confirm review cards and any Auto-review gates on the official page. We do not invent dual-control menus or click-paths. You set the threshold.

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

One yes can still clear a miss. Fatigue, chat pressure, or a skip habit can rubber-stamp amount, destination, asset, or venue on a place large enough to hurt.
Ceiling ≠ second eyes. A funded session ceiling bounds cash on the sleeve; it does not force a second human (or hard gate) on a large submit.
“I’ll confirm in chat after” is not two-person. Venue truth comes after place — confirm fills in the broker, not chat — and does not replace a second review before submit.

Never skip review before place gates every place. Two-person rule for large places adds a size threshold you set: above it, one human yes is not enough — second human or hard Auto-review you never bypass.

What “two-person rule for large places” means

You set the threshold. Notional, shares, USD, or another unit you already use — write it beside the session ceiling. Agent Lane does not pick the number.
Above threshold → second human or hard Auto-review. A second person reviews the card, or a hard Auto-review / approval gate your stack already exposes clears — and you never bypass it.
Below threshold → never-skip still on. Never skip review before place for every place, large or small.
No invented UI. Use the review card, standing agent rules, or product Auto-review you already have. Do not invent a broker dual-control screen.
Confirm after submit. Large or not: confirm fills in the broker UI, not chat.

“The sleeve is capped, so one approve is enough on a big place” is not a two-person rule. Size above your threshold without a second look (or hard gate) is how a single miss becomes an expensive miss.

Where it sits in the shield stack

Dedicated agent wallet + spend caps — money and limits the bot can reach.
Fund the session ceiling — cash only up to this run’s max.
Dry run before first live place — rehearse when agent/connector/strategy is new.
Never skip review before place — human gate on every place.
Two-person rule for large places — above your size threshold: second human or hard Auto-review you never bypass.
Confirm fills in the broker, not chat — venue truth after submit.
Revoke before you debug — kill-and-isolate on mismatch.

Healthy large place: ceiling set + never-skip on + two-person (or hard gate) above threshold + confirm in broker UI. Skip the second look and one rushed yes can clear a costly miss.

How to run the two-person rule for large places

Write the size threshold. Pick the unit you already use (notional, shares, USD, or other) and write the number at or above which a second review is required. Keep it beside the session ceiling.
Keep never-skip review on every place. Amount, destination, asset, and venue still show before any place — never skip review before place. No standing skip-the-card habit, including below the threshold.
Above threshold: second human or hard Auto-review. Require a second human on the review, or a hard Auto-review / approval gate your stack already exposes that you never bypass. Do not invent a product dual-control screen.
Stay inside the session ceiling. Fund only the ceiling — fund the session ceiling. A large place still cannot exceed cash the sleeve can reach. Caps and two-person rule stack.
Confirm in the broker UI after submit. After a large place clears two-person review, confirm the fill in the broker or wallet UI — confirm fills in the broker, not chat. Write a short receipt log.
Mismatch: stop and revoke before debug. If size, venue, or outcome mismatches what both reviewers approved: stop placing and revoke before you debug. Do not bypass Auto-review to “just get it through.” On a new stack, still dry run before first live place.

Practical checklist

Threshold written. Size unit + number beside the session ceiling — yours to set.
Never-skip still on. Every place shows amount, destination, asset, venue.
Above threshold → two-person or hard gate. Never bypass Auto-review on large places.
Venue truth after. Confirm in broker UI, not chat.
Shared-box pass. Who can be the second reviewer on a shared computer — see shared-box.

Brokerage path: Shield brokerage spend. On-chain pay: Shield crypto spend.
