Human or Agent? Work Router

Not every backlog item belongs to a machine. Answer seven quick questions and get a clear recommendation — route it to a human, an agent, or a hybrid of the two — with the human verification gate built in.

How the Router Decides

Every item is scored on two independent axes. The combination — not either one alone — sets the route. A hard gate always overrides for work that is risky or hard to undo.

Agent leverage

How much an agent can actually help: precise specification, high volume, objective verification, familiar patterns, and low hidden context all raise it.

Human necessity

How much the work needs a person: judgement and taste, subjective quality, novelty, deep business context, and high blast radius all raise it.

Run the Whole Retro

The tools follow the shape of a sprint. Route the work before it starts, define done so it can be verified, and inspect the outcome at the end so the next sprint starts better configured.
