A pilot compares work by an expert using AI with work by an autonomous AI agent, then asks reviewers to judge anonymous outputs.

For
Experts evaluating AI-assisted work and invited reviewers
Worth noticing
Reviewers set criteria before work begins, then receive anonymous outputs in randomized order.

Field notes

The protocol separates setting the standard from judging the work: reviewers define useful output before the task, and both sides receive the resulting criteria. The autonomous agent is allowed to plan, research, and revise within the same declared spending limit as the expert’s work. The visible healthcare-strategy example is labeled as an interface demonstration, not evidence from a completed comparison.
