| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
