The Fixed Do-Not-Ship-Without-Review Categories

Determine when human review or additional verification is required

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
The do-not-ship-without-review categories are a standing list of output types that always require human review before release, decided in advance rather than case by case: final client deliverables, audit-critical or financially material calculations, anything involving regulated, confidential, or highly sensitive data, and public or legal communications where a misstatement carries lasting consequence. The list is fixed and not waived because an output looks polished.
