When you call the humans who keep production safe “the bottleneck” you’re painting a very specific picture. The reviewer as the obstacle. The gate as friction. Something to route around. Cue in the Balrog scene from Lord of the Rings. That picture determines what you build. The tools to remove reviewers look different from tools to support them.

When the review bottleneck is solved by being bypassed the client/end-user becomes the "bottleneck". Why can’t he just approve whatever I’m throwing at him and call it a day? \s

    Might as well just give me their money and call it a day. No real product required.
    I can then "pay" that money to 10 other companies for nothing and then the govt. can pay my client for contracts of nothing.
    And everyone can be a billionaire.
