An AI agent's rule governance system was nearly over-pruned due to relying solely on hit rate, a metric that failed to distinguish between unused rules and broken detectors. The author discovered that 29 rules had non-functional detectors, meaning they never had a chance to fire. This highlights the importance of signal quality over simple hit counts when deciding which rules to retire. Additionally, the author restructured their Core layer from 15 to 9 rules, emphasizing that the true challenge lies in identifying trustworthy signals for rule retirement, especially considering the asymmetric costs of errors in high-consequence operations.
