human oversight

Agent PR volume scales with compute; human review capacity does not. Most candidates answer 'add an AI reviewer' and miss the real design problem: deciding which changes deserve human judgment at all. Interviewers want a risk-tiered pipeline you would trust in production.

Human-in-the-loop is the mitigation everyone writes into the risk register and almost nobody measures. When the reviewer anchors on a confident model output, your oversight control fails exactly on the cases it existed to catch.

Most teams stop their governance work at 'we can explain the decision.' The obligation, and the interview signal, is what happens after the user reads the explanation and says it is wrong.
