Deskilling-arrest mandate
A scheduled step — recertification, blind re-checks, unassisted rotations — that stops the quiet drift toward rubber-stamping.

What it looks like institutionally
Deference drifts upward on its own: each smooth week teaches the reviewer that checking is unnecessary. A deskilling-arrest mandate is a deliberate counter-schedule: periodic work without the tool, blind re-scoring of tool-assisted decisions, recertification that requires demonstrating independent judgment.
The mandate's justification is the maintenance framing from the Field Guide: if the safeguard is a living human capacity, it needs upkeep like any living thing. The cost is real hours; the alternative is an oversight layer that exists on the org chart and nowhere else.
Track override rates as the vital sign. A reviewer who never disagrees with the system is either supervising a perfect machine or has stopped supervising.
