Apply an AI-assisted label

Core meaning

Capability purpose

Enrich filtering, retrieval, and pattern analysis without presenting machine interpretation as owner-confirmed truth.

Meaningful outcome

An active or archived assignment links a known assisted label to a target with provenance.

Boundaries — includes

target eligibility, active vocabulary check, confidence, rationale, provenance, assignment, archive, and visibility state.

Boundaries — excludes

creating label vocabulary, promoting labels, changing owner-confirmed taxonomy, and deciding retrieval policy.

Terms and concepts

An assignment is derived metadata and remains distinguishable from confirmed labels.

Interaction Contract MLEs

Apply or archive an assisted label

Actor

An authorized enrichment process or owner action.

Command / intent

Add or remove a soft-semantic label on a target.

Current state

The target exists; a governed assisted label and current assignment state are known.

Policies / invariants

Label and target are owner-scoped; only active vocabulary entries are assigned; provenance is retained; removal archives rather than rewrites history; promotion requires a separate proposal and confirmation.

Transition

Validate scope, create an active assignment or archive the active assignment, and record evidence.

Result

An attributable active/archived assignment or reasoned rejection.

Events / effects

Opted-in retrieval or analysis may use active assignments.

Unknowns

Universal confidence thresholds are not established.

Rules and defaults

Rules / invariants

• Assisted assignments never silently become owner-confirmed labels.

Recommended defaults

• Exclude assisted labels from filtering and retrieval unless the surface intentionally opts in.

Unknown / unresolved

• Public operational realization is not confirmed.
