The useful comparison is not human versus AI. It is ungoverned versus governed.

Give the same task and the same budget to two lanes. Change only the control posture. The result is a much more honest demonstration of why NORNR exists.

Ungoverned lane

The runtime can move fast, but the buyer learns late

Spend, counterparty drift and evidence quality only become visible after the action or at close.

Governed lane

The runtime stays useful, but the consequential step becomes a named decision

NORNR answers the mandate question before release and leaves one proof path afterward.

What to compare

Queue rate, prevented spend, review burden and export quality

These are the metrics that actually tell you whether the control posture improved the lane.
