The Infrastructure Rule That Prevents AI Automation Disasters

One rule changed how we build AI systems. No AI output is allowed to directly trigger critical business actions without passing through a validation layer. Simple rule. Huge impact. Most AI automation failures do not happen because the model is completely wrong. They happen because the model is slightly wrong in a place where accuracy matters. A generated email with a typo is annoying. An incorrect CRM update, customer notification, invoice adjustment, or workflow approval can become a business problem. That difference changes everything.
