The poster, building taloswork.ai, raises a core agent-adoption question: a finished deliverable (a research brief, an 18-slide editable deck with sources in speaker notes) is not proof the research is right.
He lists what still needs human review: whether sources support claims, whether forecasts are presented as facts, and whether an obvious alternative was missed. He asks the community: which check would you never delegate, and how much verification makes an agent no longer worth using?
