AI watchdogs are more valuable than passive dashboards. They can monitor Slack, calendars, meetings, and outputs for anomalies, conflicts, and missing context. This turns monitoring into an execution improvement loop.

Impact: Teams can find high value bottlenecks faster. Execution quality improves without adding headcount.
