What Does 'Human Approval Gate' Mean?

[ WORKPLACE CULTURE ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Workplace CultureCLUSTER: Human Oversight

The specific checkpoint in an otherwise agent-driven workflow where a human must sign off before work actually ships, framed as a deliberate, named step rather than an implicit assumption.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Nothing from the agent pipeline ships without clearing the human approval gate first, no exceptions."

LORE & ORIGIN

Named as agentic workflows matured enough that the human's remaining role needed its own explicit place in the pipeline diagram, not just an assumed final glance.
