Human Review Becomes a Budgeted Resource

Projection: Teams will allocate scarce human review capacity as deliberately as compute, reserving expert attention for irreversible, ambiguous, or high-value actions. This differs from an agent's permission budget: it prices the organization's supervision bottleneck. Adoption is visible when queues, service levels, and escalation spend are planned before agents are deployed.

What the evidence establishes.

The cited captures document enterprise adoption and governance constraints. They do not establish supervision-capacity planning as a standard practice; the adoption test is whether teams forecast and fund review queues before increasing agent autonomy.
