Principlev1

Match delegation level to the combination of task

Match delegation level to the combination of task reversibility, delegate's task-specific competence, and the trajectory of trust rather than using a fixed level per person.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Expertise as Domain-Specific Schema Organization (expertise is domain-specific), Expertise Through Deliberate Practice (expertise develops through deliberate practice), and Humans systematically prefer to be consistent with their (commitment drives consistency). The principle prescribes situational calibration of delegation rather than person-based blanket approaches. It's actionable and applies across contexts.
