1Distress · What Would They Say

Pension rules are spread over five sites and they change.

I forget the follow-up until the letter arrives.

I was told to write a will and I do not know where to start.

I don’t want to be sold something.

2Real Need · How to Verify

Information gathering and reminders are delegable. Legal drafting, signing, and anything a licensed person must interpret are not — not because the model is weak, but because the authority was never yours to pass on.

Verification signals (two or more and the need is real):
　· Every record collected has a government or issuer link attached
　· The reminder can be checked against a calendar you control
　· The document is reviewed by a lawyer before anything is signed

3Principle · What Is Actually Happening

Accountability + principal–agent cost

Accountability cannot be delegated, only displaced. If an agent finds the pension rules and gets them wrong, the loss is still yours and the penalty is still real. That is why collection is delegable and interpretation of eligibility is not.

Principal–agent cost adds the second guard: an agent optimising for “task complete” will produce a confident answer where a professional would say “it depends on your contribution record.”

4Three Tests · Before You Hand Anything Over

Basis taken from the cell framework. All three must pass; a failed test is a stop, not a warning.

Can I hand the pension calculation data collection to an agent?

Basis: Verification cost economics

The agent's output can be checked against at least two independent official sources (e.g., social security website and a pension statement) within 10 minutes.
The task involves only gathering and formatting numbers, not interpreting eligibility rules.
You can spot-check 3 random data points and confirm they match the source without specialized knowledge.

If any fails, do the data collection manually or use a spreadsheet template.

Can I hand the health follow-up reminders to an agent?

Basis: Principal-agent cost

The reminder is a simple scheduled alert (e.g., 'take medication at 8am') with no judgment about dosage or symptoms.
You can verify the reminder was sent by checking a log or receiving a confirmation message within 1 hour.
The agent does not modify the reminder content based on inferred health data.

If any fails, set reminders manually on your phone or use a basic alarm.

Can I hand the legal information search for a will to an agent?

Basis: Accountability

The agent only retrieves publicly available legal texts (e.g., civil code sections) and does not generate legal advice or interpretations.
You will have a licensed lawyer review any information before making decisions, and the agent's output is clearly marked as 'raw search results'.
The search results include direct links to official government or court websites for verification within 5 minutes.

If any fails, do not use the agent for legal search; consult a lawyer directly.

5Desire · What Does It Look Like

One folder with every record and its source

No missed follow-up

A will I actually understand and signed properly

6Gap · How to Judge

What to look at

Records collected with a source link · reminders missed · documents signed only after legal review

How to judge

Can you show where each rule came from, on an official page?

Healthy state

Every record sourced · zero missed follow-ups · nothing signed without review

7Gap · Divided into Three Levels

MildRecords and reminders → automate

ModerateRule search → automate, interpret with the pension office

SevereDrafting or signing a legal document → stop, lawyer only

8Common Misconceptions · Wrong Paths

Let an agent draft and sign a will —— formalities decide validity, not content

Take a chat answer as the pension rule —— rules are local, dated and conditional

Let it adjust medication timing —— that is a clinical decision

Trust a list of documents with no links —— an unsourced list is a set of guesses

9The Right Path

List the records and follow-ups you are actually tracking

Automate collection with links, and reminders with a phone backup

Read the official page yourself for anything that affects money or eligibility

Take legal drafting to a lawyer; use the agent only for questions to ask

Sign nothing that has not been reviewed by the person licensed to review it

This page does not ask for pension numbers, ID documents or medical data. It discusses authority, not your records.

Theoretical basis: Accountability · Principal–agent cost · Verification cost economics
Limitations: this is a judgement framework, not financial, medical or legal advice. Where a licensed professional is required, the agent can prepare and cannot decide.
