Episode notes
Speed Raises Expectations Not Free Time
- AI often speeds output but raises pace, volume, and expectations rather than freeing time.
- Faster drafts and iterations can increase review and coordination burdens across teams.

- Use AI as an assist to accelerate tasks selectively rather than assume wholesale replacement.

- Professionals then decide whether to shorten timelines or use the assist to raise analysis quality within similar timelines.
