When Responsibility Exists Without Authority: A Refusal Framework Artifact
When Responsibility Exists Without Authority is a governance refusal instrument that defines the conditions under which responsibility must not be assigned.
This artifact establishes clear prohibition boundaries when individuals or teams are held accountable for outcomes they do not have unilateral authority to correct, stop, or reverse. It exists to prevent organizational structures where escalation replaces control, blame substitutes for authority, and accountability is imposed without corresponding power.
The document does not recommend organizational designs, management practices, or corrective alternatives. It provides enforceable refusal conditions that may be adopted as a governance constraint without modification.
This reference is intended for environments where responsibility is used to absorb risk without granting the authority required to manage it.
