Human + AI: where the hand-off should actually happen
We spent a week inside a five-person growth team. The agents did the volume; people kept the judgement. Here is exactly where the line sits — and why it moves.
01 — The line is not where people expect
Teams assume the hand-off is “the machine writes, the human approves”. In practice the useful line sits earlier: the machine does the research and proposes the segment, and a person decides whether that segment is worth a quarter of the team’s attention.
02 — What moves the line
Two things: how expensive a mistake is, and how quickly it becomes visible. Where an error shows up within a day and costs a follow-up email, let the system run. Where it shows up in a quarter and costs a relationship, keep a person in front of it.
03 — What we would not automate
