Let's imagine AI is not there yet and won't be there for 100% accuracy, but you still need accountability, you can't run everything in autopilot and hope you will make 10B ARR.

How do you overcome this limitation?

By making human accountable, imagine you come to work in the morning and your only task is to: "Approve / Request improvement / Reject". You just press 3 buttons all day long:

* Customer is requesting pricing for X, based on the requirements, I found CustomerA had similar requirements and we offered them 100$ / piece last month. What should I do? Approve / Reject / "Ask for 110$"

* Customer (or their agent) is not happy with your 110$ proposal, I used historical data and based on X,Y,Z min we can offer is 104$ to make our ARR increase 15% year-over-year, what should I do? Approve / Reject / Your input

So what, you show up to work one day, hit your three button rotation and one day you just end up in prison because your agent asked you to approve fraud/abuse because the legal ramifications section was outside of it's context window? This is asinine.

> your agentic platform vendor will be responsible for not showing important things

That'll be covered by their ToS/contracts so they won't be liable

Ok, you’re the platform vendor and just enabled fraud. Now what?
