Autonomous systems must never operate completely unmonitored. The following critical checkpoints require explicit human review to protect deliverability, domain reputation, and buyer trust:

Discount Approval Threshold: Automated workflow routes proposals with non-standard discounts to sales leadership for approval before send.
Legal Clause Review: Flag modified contractual clauses or custom customer redlines for legal team sign-off.
