Everything on Process Efficiency

Fully autonomous agentic coding flows exhibit yield rates as low as 30%, compared to 85-90% for human-led workflows. This is primarily due to a lack of human ownership in the review and approval process.

Impact: Investing in fully autonomous agents without solving the ownership and follow-through problem results in wasted token spend and a backlog of unmerged, low-priority code.
