- A procurement supervisor pilots an agentic workflow that creates purchase orders from approved requisitions for a 500-person manufacturer. Finance requires quantities to match requisitions, vendors to be on the approved list, and totals to stay within budget, while operations wants faster cycle times. Which supervision practice best ensures that agentic workflows meet requirements?

Which practice best reviews agentic workflow outputs for accuracy and safety?
- A fintech product manager is designing an agentic workflow that reads customer complaints, issues refunds under $50, updates billing records, and notifies regulators when fraud is suspected. Compliance requires auditability and no autonomous legal or financial commitments. Which decision point should the manager designate as requiring mandatory human judgment and approval?
- A program manager must modernize 40 legacy onboarding docs: the agent must propose a new structure, get stakeholder sign-off, then migrate content across repositories with team visibility. Accuracy matters, but constant prompts would stall delivery. Which agent execution mode should the manager select to balance control and momentum for this migration?
- A business analyst must let an agent draft vendor contract redlines from legal playbooks. Policy demands a human approves strategy before drafting, but the analyst wants hands-off drafting once the plan is approved to save time. Which agent work mode best balances oversight and efficiency?
- A delivery manager oversees an agent that migrates support tickets into GitHub issues nightly and must prove each issue has correct labels and no sensitive data. Which supervision practice best ensures that agentic workflows meet requirements?
- A hiring manager pilots an agent to screen engineering applications in GitHub Issues, summarize portfolios, schedule interviews, and send rejection messages for 300 applicants. False rejections create legal and fairness risks, while scheduling is low risk. Which human review design identifies critical decision points where human judgment is required?
- A support operations manager uses an agentic workflow to summarize 500 tickets weekly, flagging churn risk and required follow-ups. Two summaries misquoted refund amounts and missed SLA breaches. Which review practice best validates agentic workflow outputs before stakeholders act?
