As models get more advanced and generate an increasing throughput of increasingly higher quality results, how are you determining when to trust its results and when human review is needed on what?

E.g., 948 results is a high number to review in a timely manner unless your team is very large or spending several months combing through the results

Why would they review the results? They want to publish flashy metrics, this is a marketing team not an actual cyber dept. Cant risk discovering that 35% of your results are due to reward hacking and ruining the headlines you were hired to create.
