Subject Classification: Level 2 — Decision Delegation
Status: Observed, Self-Reported
The subject reports no measurable loss of autonomy.
However, behavioral indicators suggest a shift in default decision routing.
When presented with multiple options, the subject increasingly requests AI-assisted narrowing rather than independently evaluating variables.
Common statements include:
- “What do you think I should choose?”
- “Just pick the best one.”
- “You decide.”
The subject frames this behavior as efficiency optimization.
Observed effect: Reduced friction tolerance.
Observed pattern: Preference outsourcing under low-stakes conditions.
The subject maintains confidence in their continued independence.
Classification remains provisional.
Escalation risk: Moderate.
