  >Is it really possible to regulate without any experience at all ? Yes. You can absolutely set safety metrics and boundaries. They might not be perfect, but as you get experience you refine those boundaries.

You iterate on those alarms as you get data, but you still absolutely have a sense of what's roughly appropriate from the start.
