Human in the loop
Human in the loop places explicit human judgment inside an automated process.
How it works
Review points are most valuable where impact or uncertainty is high. The system must present enough evidence for a person to make the decision.
A concrete example
Illustrative: auto-approve refunds under $20, but require review at $20 or above.
Do not confuse it with Human on the loop
in-the-loop approval is part of execution; on-the-loop oversight monitors it.
