Optimize selective human AI review policy

Choose one eligible automation or human-review policy per decision segment using a coherent-scenario multi-choice stochastic program over residual loss, complete cost and review hours; enforce complementarity evidence, scenario capacity-breach probability and residual-loss CVaR with exact enumeration or disclosed beam search.

What it's for

Routes scarce expert judgment to the decisions where validated human–AI collaboration creates the most value, while showing leaders the cost, capacity overload probability and residual tail risk.

What you give it

Inputs split into evidence read from your connected systems, calibration your team owns, and numerical controls that affect precision but never the result's meaning.

How it works

Constrained optimization — Pick the best feasible option under real limits — budget, headcount, dependencies, capacity — rather than ranking a list and hoping it fits.

  1. 1 Freeze decision segments and coherent joint scenarios for baseline loss and review-hour capacity; enumerate segment-specific automation and review options with residual loss, full variable/fixed cost and scenario workload.
  2. 2 Exclude locally ineligible options and every human-review option lacking version-matched complementarity evidence, then select exactly one remaining policy per segment.
  3. 3 Maximize expected net avoided loss subject to expected cost, scenario review-capacity breach probability and optional residual-loss CVaR; enumerate all multi-choice states inside the exact boundary and disclose feasible beam search outside it.

Before you trust it

Every tool in the catalog ships with the conditions under which its answer is meaningful — and the conditions under which it should abstain instead of guessing.

Assumptions & guardrails

  • Objectives use commensurable locally governed value units, constraints reflect real feasibility, and uncertainty covers plausible adverse inputs.
  • Segments are mutually exclusive and collectively match the decision perimeter; scenario columns preserve joint demand/loss/cost/capacity shocks; residual losses and workloads are prospective; option eligibility and complementarity versions are current; capacity is fungible as modeled.
  • The recommendation is optimal only for its stated objective, feasible set, evidence, and solver guarantee; it is not a universal management optimum.
  • The result optimizes a governed routing policy, not people. Exactness covers only represented options/scenarios; beam mode has no global certificate; no routing choice removes accountable ownership or authorizes employment scoring.

Minimum evidence

  • segments: at least 1 rows/items
  • policy_options: at least 1 rows/items
  • scenarios: required and organization-defined
  • review_hours_capacity_scenarios: at least 2 rows/items
  • maximum_expected_cost: required and organization-defined

How to validate it

Backtest the chosen action against simple feasible baselines on held-out scenarios, sweep costs/constraints/risk tolerance, and require constraint feasibility under adverse inputs.

Calibrating it to your org

Same for everyone

The mathematical kernel, validation rules, method version, and JSON output semantics are organization-independent; no tenant-trained coefficients or company benchmark is embedded in the function.

Specific to you

  • versioned selective-review planning projection joining mutually exclusive decision segments to validated option policies, prospective residual loss/workload/cost scenarios, staffing capacity and immutable complementarity evidence
  • segment perimeter, option eligibility/version, complementarity certification, scenario dependence, baseline/residual loss, complete cost, review workload/capacity, breach probability, CVaR/value gates, solver boundary and routing authority

Calibration workflow

  1. 1 Define the management decision, target outcome, aggregate unit, privacy boundary, cadence, and prediction/intervention horizon for this organization.
  2. 2 Build a tenant-scoped historical cohort using only information available before each prediction or decision; preserve zero periods, censoring, assignment probabilities, and unresolved outcomes when the method requires them.
  3. 3 Estimate statistical parameters on training history, but obtain costs, utilities, risk tolerance, practical-effect thresholds, capacity, and policy constraints from accountable decision owners.
  4. 4 Validate on later time windows or held-out aggregate units at the deployment grain, against a simple baseline and the function-specific validation strategy.
  5. 5 Deploy only if the returned decision clears evidence, overlap, calibration, robustness, and guardrail checks; warning, unsupported, schema-gap, and fallback decisions are abstentions.
  6. 6 Monitor realized outcomes, data drift, coverage, and decision regret; recalibrate at a governed cadence or after a detected regime/definition change, never merely because a stakeholder dislikes the result.

Call it from your AI

You don't wire up 388 tools in your MCP client. The GitRevio MCP server exposes 18 tools, three of which let an agent search the catalog, read a tool's schema, and run it — so the assistant finds this one on its own.

gitrevio_capabilities_search
  { "q": "choose one eligible automation or humanreview" }
  → finds "optimize_selective_human_ai_review_policy"

gitrevio_capability_describe
  { "capability_id": "optimize_selective_human_ai_review_policy" }
  → returns the input schema and agent guidance shown on this page

gitrevio_capability_run
  { "capability_id": "optimize_selective_human_ai_review_policy", "arguments": { ... } }
  → returns the result shown above

Works in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev, Goose and Aider. See the MCP server.
