What does research say about: Lower error rates reduce human-in-the-loop (HITL) costs?

Structured prompts reduce HITL review time from 5 minutes to 45 seconds per item (85% reduction), saving an estimated $60K/year for a 10-person review team. (Source: Scale AI, 'The State of AI Data' annual report, 2024). Without schema-conformant AI output, human reviewers must fully reconstruct answers instead of spot-checking — consuming 5x more time per item.
