Non-Degenerate Risk Certification for Automated Security Decisions: A Decision-Contract Theory with ATT\&CK-Aligned Triage as a Worked Instance
An unconditional risk bound on automated decisions can be satisfied without automating anything, since a selector that never acts drives the bound to zero. We show this is structural: any risk certificate is defined over a decision contract, the inputs a system acts on plus the semantic relation under which an output counts correct, and weakening either hides base-classifier error. We develop a decision-contract theory: an error-conservation law showing error is only reassigned among harmful aut
