The demand for human oversight is real. The infrastructure to support it properly is catching up. Here is why approval gates are harder than they look.

The internet runs on standards nobody owns. AI infrastructure doesn't - yet. What format lock-in actually costs, and why the ecosystem effects of an open standard can't emerge from a closed one.

Any agent role can be decomposed into a team of narrower agents without changing the interface upstream. The agent abstraction is fractal.

When you build AI agents on a platform today, you're not just choosing infrastructure - you're choosing a format. The format is the lock-in.
