A presenter explains Human in the Middle on a board, showing a person between two computers to illustrate guided responsibility.

Judgment Before Automation

This alias now points to the full Judgment Before Automation framework.

Judgment Before Automation is the philosophy. Human in the Middle is the executional framework inside it. Rather than maintain two separate versions of the same idea, the canonical explanation now lives on the dedicated framework page.

Why this changed

One clearer route, less duplicated explanation

The framework page explains the full philosophy, the relationship between JBA and HITM, and how the executional framework shapes workflow design, review, and responsibility. Keeping that explanation in one place makes the site easier to maintain and clearer to navigate.

Use the framework page for the philosophy. Use the HITM page for the executional framework inside it.
