Proposer-Reviewer
The proposer-reviewer paradigm: one model proposes an action, the other independently verifies it.
Two mechanisms:
- pre-agreement — like dual authorization in banking; for irreversible operations: payments, sending emails, changing configurations;
- post-hoc verification with modality switching — render a document and check visually, run the system in a sandbox.
Rules:
- models from different families of comparable level (cognitive diversity);
- basic rules coincide, focus differs;
- rejection is returned to the trajectory as a tool error.
