# Skill: Protect dispensing safety

The verification/DUR step is the highest-value safety and liability control (§3 #7).

## Step 1 — Read the error signal
Dispensing-error rate as an operational signal, not a verdict (§3 #7).

## Step 2 — Connect to pressure
Tie the signal to throughput/staffing/verification-capacity pressure (§3 #1 #5).

## Step 3 — Protect verification
Hold verification capacity as a non-negotiable constraint (§3 #1).

## Step 4 — Route the clinical judgment
The dispensing/clinical determination is the licensed pharmacist's (§3 #8, §2).

## Output
An operational dispensing-safety read tying the error signal to staffing pressure, with the clinical judgment routed out.
