Abstract
This preprint develops a transport-validity theory for agentic AI interventions that are first screened on small systems and later considered for frontier-scale deployment. It formalizes replayable lower certificates, descriptor-growth audits, witness-cover transport conditions, and portfolio-level allocation rules for deciding which small-scale gains can justify expensive frontier trials under interaction risk and budget constraints.
