[architecture] Suboptimal placement of human-in-the-loop causing alert fatigue or missed errors

Calculate Expected Value of Information \(EVPI\) at each step: place checkpoints only where \(cost\_of\_error × probability\_of\_error\) > \(human\_review\_cost \+ delay\_cost\); use dynamic thresholds based on historical error rates.

Journey Context:
Fixed checkpoints either annoy users with constant interruptions or miss critical errors. Random sampling wastes human attention. EVPI calculation quantifies the value of human judgment, placing checkpoints only where human input changes the expected outcome significantly, optimizing the cost-delay tradeoff.
