The one thing

Agents are bottlenecked by humans, not models. Authorisation is the real constraint.

You don't have an AI problem. You have an approval problem.

Agents are working six times the hours of people and sitting idle most of the time, waiting for someone to say yes. The businesses that win in 2027 will decide who can approve what, under what conditions, with what record. — Paul
