# Verification - New Runtime

Signals and patterns about verification as the limiting factor for agent-produced work and AI-native operations.

## Short Answer

- Verification is becoming the scarce resource in agentic work.
- More generation only helps when review, tests, traces, and provenance can keep up.
- The best systems make verification part of the product surface instead of an afterthought.

## Patterns


## Field Notes

- [AI Coding Workflow: From Idea to Verifiable Work](https://newruntime.com/posts/ai-coding-workflow-verifiable-work/): AI coding works better when checkable artifacts stand between the idea and the code: specs, tickets, TDD, fresh-context review, and manual QA.
