Autonomy tiers and spend caps
The three trust levels, the caps that override them, and the one switch that loosens instead of tightens.

The three tiers
Every workflow runs at one of three levels, and you set them per rule.
| Tier | What it does | Where it starts |
|---|---|---|
| Auto | Does it. You see it in the activity log afterwards. | Receipts, guest messaging, placing incoming payments, opening an arrears case when rent is not received, routine scheduling |
| Notify | Does it, and tells you the moment it does. | A renewal decision six months out, what an empty flat is costing you |
| Review | Prepares it and waits. Nothing happens until you approve. | Money out above your cap, formal notices, indexation, terminations, deposit deductions |
The first rent reminder is off until it follows the dates in your country's rules.
Spend caps
A cap is an amount above which money leaving your account needs your signature. There are three of them. Your global cap applies to every workflow at once. Repairs carry a second, lower cap of their own. And an individual automation may carry a tighter one still, which is why the emergency callout and the registered letter do not share a limit. Whichever of the three is strictest is the one that stops the payment, and it is the one you are told about.
A cap can only ever make the system more cautious than a workflow asks for. A workflow set to Auto that wants to spend over your cap becomes Review. It never works the other way round.
The same is true of the other guardrails: quiet hours, a tenant marked as not to be automated, and the master switch that stops Dardaris acting at all. They tighten. They cannot loosen.
Quiet hours
Outbound messages hold until the window opens. It applies to every message Dardaris sends on your behalf, with a stricter window again for anything chasing money, which is the category where a message at the wrong hour does real damage. Nothing is exempt, so a message written at 02:00 is sent when the window opens rather than then.
Where you set all of this: settings. What each automation does with it: what runs on its own.
