What changed

Teams either gate nothing (risk) or gate everything (slowness and fake safety). Router Lab needs a third path: selective gates tied to blast radius.

Why it matters

Human-in-the-loop only helps when it catches real harm. Blanket approval queues burn founder time and train people to rubber-stamp.

Take

How to place human gates only where irreversibility or high stakes demand them, so review does not become theatre. Keep speed on low-risk steps; pause on send, delete, pay, merge, and external posts.

What to do

List your AI-assisted actions in two columns: reversible/low-stakes (auto or fast path) vs irreversible/high-stakes (human gate). Enforce gates only on the second column for one week; measure queue time and incidents.
