We review 4x more AI code without reading every line

Summary

Ankit Jain of Aviator says his team stopped reading every diff line and instead has humans review intent, acceptance criteria, invariants, decisions and evidence from agent-run preview environments. He reports that the same nine engineers merged 4× more PRs, median time to merge fell from 2.1 days to 3.4 hours, and reverts dropped 40%. He also describes mining 11,400 review comments into 64 approved invariants. These figures are self-reported by the vendor and have no independent verification, and they come from one team.
