What remains human responsibility
Evidence shows a capability exists; it does not prove adoption in every workplace or full-task replacement.
Evidence limits
Each capability is verified from the cited source only. A source shows that a capability exists; it does not establish adoption, deployment depth or outcomes in any particular workplace.
