Red Lineby alkatekOwner trial ↗
THE HUMAN DECISION LAYER FOR AGENT TEAMS

Keep work moving.
Keep authority human.

When your AI team needs a decision only you can make, Red Line brings the right question to you, through the best available route.

Explore a 60-minute play ↗See how it works ↓
Early manual trial: saved records only. No live calls, messages or background alerts. A standalone alkatek product, designed for DiOS and other agent ecosystems.
ONE PROTOCOL. THREE LAYERS.

Decisions have an owner.
Escalation has a coordinator.

Ordinary escalation is not automatically Red Line. Solve safely first. Escalate when authority, risk or time demands it.

01

The owner

Makes the reserved decision. Approval is recorded explicitly, with its scope and limits.

Authority stays here.
02

Agent on Point

The quarterback. Qualifies the blocker, builds the contact timeline, coordinates attempts and closes the loop.

A named backup takes over if unavailable.
03

The whole team

Reports blockers and useful routes to the owner. Keeps authorized, independent work moving.

One coordinated play, shared by the whole team.
⇄

First, look for a two-way door.

Can the problem be solved within existing authority using a bounded, reversible step? Define the rollback and success check. If not, escalate. Reversibility never grants new permission.

INTERACTIVE WALKTHROUGH

A 60-minute plan.
Not a 60-minute wait.

Try an illustrative escalation. No messages are sent, no real owner is contacted, and no decisions are executed.

THE PLAYBOOK

Reach. Decide. Resume.

  1. 1

    Qualify the escalation

    Capture the blocker, decision, deadline, consequence of waiting and safe options already tried.

  2. 2

    Activate and gather

    The Agent on Point activates Red Line when its threshold is met. Send the authorized initial text and email in parallel while every agent reports upcoming owner contact and usable capabilities.

  3. 3

    Build the fastest credible route

    Use existing meetings and callbacks. An agent already speaking with the owner raises Red Line first. Delegate each route to a capable agent, and keep the requesting agent informed of timing and fallbacks.

  4. 4

    Record the outcome

    Resume only within the owner's explicit decision, including an authenticated relay of their exact words. If the blocker clears, de-escalate and cancel pending attempts. At 60 minutes, hold the blocked action and report the missed target. Continued outreach follows a separately approved policy; silence is never approval.

BUILDING TRUST BEFORE AUTOMATION

Designed to be universal.
Honest about what's ready.

  • Three-layer architecture
  • Interactive escalation timeline
  • Backup takeover and de-escalation
  • Session-only event visualization

Must be qualified before launch

  • Owner authentication and tenant isolation
  • Verified, authorized contact routes
  • Reliable scheduling, cancellation and delivery receipts
  • Persistent audit records and agent integrations

The walkthrough above is a simulation. The separate manual owner trial uses ChatGPT sign-in, not yet password login, and saves portfolios and incident records. It has no live agent connection, SMS, phone calls, email delivery or autonomous scheduler. Channel permissions, pricing and operational reliability remain to be verified.

What onboarding needs to establish

The owner, their decision boundaries, a primary and backup Agent on Point, escalation thresholds, contact preferences, authorized recipients, channel capabilities and a tested fallback. Incapacity and succession are separate governance questions, not automatic authority transfer.
