The premise
Agent error budgets balance reliability against velocity; deliberate setting drives discipline.
What AI does well here
- Set error budgets matching use case stakes
- Track budget consumption
- Slow feature work when budget exhausted
- Adjust budgets as system matures
What AI cannot do
- Set perfect error budgets
- Eliminate the velocity-reliability trade-off
- Predict budget consumption
