When Machines Build for Machines, Judgment Becomes the Bottleneck

If agentic systems make execution abundant and machine-native outputs normal, the real enterprise constraint shifts to judgment: what to optimize, what to trust, and how to govern systems humans can no longer fully inspect line by line.
