Software Autonomy Levels

From assisted software to self-driving operations.

Cars have autonomy levels from 0 to 5. Enterprise software is on the same path. Supervity gives leaders a simple way to say how self-driving each operation is, and where it should go next.

Autonomy as a maturity climb. Level 4 is where software runs the operation under the rules people set.

Six levels. One clear way to talk about self-driving operations.

0
Manual

People do all the work by operating the software, one click at a time. Most companies still live here for most operations.

1
Assisted

A copilot suggests the next step or drafts a reply, but a person still does the work and makes every decision.

2
Partial automation

Simple fixed tasks run on their own, but they break when something changes or an unusual case appears.

3
Conditional autonomy

The software runs whole processes end to end and hands unusual cases to a person. This is where most Autos begin.

4
High autonomy

The operation runs itself under the rules you set. People supervise by exception rather than steering. A global manufacturer runs its finance operation here, with 85% handled by software.

5
Full autonomy

Operations improve themselves across the whole business on the shared Auto Graph, with leaders setting direction and goals only.

How to move upLow-risk path

You do not leap to Level 4 overnight.

Start with one jobPick a high-volume process where the work is measurable.
Run at Level 3Let the Auto handle the process with people supervising closely.
Climb toward Level 4As trust builds and the Auto Graph deepens, more work runs on its own.
Higher level does not mean less control.

At every level, the rules you set are enforced before anything runs.

People stay in command.

High-impact actions always wait for a person, by design.

Everything stays reviewable.

Every action stays recorded and reviewable through Control and Audit.
