## Summary

Tessl argues that AI software factories should judge changes by risk and verified outcomes rather than reviewing every diff. It says reviewers now face defect checks, intent, architecture, security, and release decisions at once. It proposes four controls: reducing mistake likelihood, verifying outcomes with evidence, locating risk, and limiting impact.
