Reviewing a result before delivery appears to add time.
Skipping the review does not eliminate that time.
It only moves it.
It becomes an urgent correction, an explanation to the customer, an interruption for the team, or a problem someone must solve later.
That is why QA is not a person waiting at the end of the process to say yes or no.
It is a question that should accompany the work from the beginning:
How will we prove that this solves what we were asked to solve?
When that question arrives late, discovering an error becomes expensive.
When it appears before construction, it helps define the need, the boundaries, and the expected result more clearly.
AI can greatly accelerate the first version.
But a fast first version is useless if no one can demonstrate that it is ready.
Verification is not a brake.
It prevents speed from taking us to the wrong place sooner.
