Brilliant piece on the trust dynamics here. The "staff officer not captain" framing for AI Shipmate captures somthing most automation discussions miss: building operator confidence is as critical as technical capability. I've seen systems with perfect specs fail bc noone trusted when to override them. The £2.5M drone save is the real proof of concept for assurance frameworks.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. You’re absolutely right, confidence at the human–machine boundary is everything. When people know when to trust a system and when to step in, that’s when autonomy really works. That moment on the flight deck says far more about assurance than any framework ever could.
