Counterfactual Escalation Policy: Meta-Insight Routing for High-Impact Human Review

Estimate intervention value before handoff to reduce unsafe approvals and unnecessary escalations

Escalation is triggered when estimated causal benefit exceeds review cost, not by confidence alone.

Manipulation Detection in Retail AI: Causal Inference for the Personalization–Manipulation Boundary

Defining the mathematical boundary between helpful personalization and harmful manipulation using causal reasoning and responsibility gates

Retail recommendation systems operate between beneficial personalization and potentially manipulative behavior. This paper introduces a causal-inference framework that defines the personalization-manipulation boundary, enabling retail AI agents to operate within explicit ethical constraints while routing boundary violations to human review.

Graph RAG for Causal Structure Extraction: Matrix Methods for Multi-Hop Retrieval with Evidence Cohesion

How organizational knowledge graphs enable responsibility chain tracing and risk concentration detection

Standard RAG often retrieves flat document chunks that under-represent relational structure needed for causal and responsibility reasoning. Graph RAG models documents and entities as nodes in an adjacency matrix, enabling multi-hop retrieval along causal paths in organizational knowledge. We formalize an h-hop diffusion score, derive hop-depth choices from a noise-accuracy tradeoff, and introduce an evidence-cohesion metric that gates response generation by subgraph density. In contract-corpus evaluations, the method reported 73.4% causal-path extraction accuracy at 3 hops, a 31% improvement over flat Top-k RAG for responsibility-chain identification, and `r = 0.87` correlation between cohesion score and response correctness.
