Show HN: A Responsibility-Driven Replacement for ITIL/ITSM(OpenSource,Cap-Based)

3 points

a year ago

Over the past month, I’ve been working on a radical rethink of IT service management. Instead of roles, SLAs, or manual escalation paths, this system quantifies and delegates responsibility through a recursive infrastructure — fully auditable, decentralized, and resistant to role inflation or siloing.

It’s called X^∞.

The core idea: Responsibility is not a title — it’s a systemically measurable, delegatable, and feedback-bound quantity: Cap = capability to act, earned through past responsibility ∆Cap = change in authority via action and system feedback Petitions instead of tickets: context-aware priority, no status bias AuditChain = traceable delegation and accountability

I'd appreciate thoughts from anyone working in ITSM, DevOps, SRE, complex systems, or AI governance.
