Regulated industries still need humans — AI adds leverage, not elimination

In regulated and high-stakes industries, you need human beings checking everything — that's real. But checking a draft takes a lot less time than making it from scratch. That's actually where the 31% margin improvement at firms like Larsson Gross comes from: the people are still there, but what they spend their day on is different. They now have a whole lot more leverage — not financial leverage, but productivity leverage. They're just way more capable of getting more done. The headcount doesn't disappear; the output per person scales dramatically.
