When human delivery is priced below its labor cost, that pricing is the tell. This analysis maps the margin incentives behind this “human-washing” rational, legal exposures under the newly applicable Article 50 of the EU AI Act, and introduces a seven-point Human-in-the-Loop Verification Protocol for diligence teams.
