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.
