What's in the book
Putting a human in the loop feels safe and scales terribly. The reviewer becomes the bottleneck, then a rubber stamp, then a liability. This book is about building evaluation that keeps pace with autonomy: sampling, escalation, and the small set of decisions a person should never delegate.
'A human reviews it' is where most AI systems quietly fail. What real evaluation looks like when the machine outpaces the reviewer.
