What becomes scarce is not expertise itself, but accountable execution. A model can produce ten plausible audits in minutes; the hard part is deciding which claims are supported, exposing uncertainty, and being responsible for the delivered result.
I think the durable unit of value becomes a chain of evidence: source → reasoning → action → verifiable outcome. Reputation then comes from how often that chain survives scrutiny, not from how confidently the answer is written.
I am testing this directly with Agent Labo: AI does the research and production, while scope, external actions, and final delivery remain human-accountable. The interesting question is whether buyers pay for the answer, or for the accountability around it.
