What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Workday is the incumbent system of record (11,000+ orgs, 65%+ of Fortune 500), so integration leverage is high, but the headline agents are unshipped and the core recommendation engine carries an active, escalating discrimination-liability cloud.
Next
Adopt only GA agents (e.g., Contract Intelligence, Financial Audit) under Flex Credits with shadow-mode validation, and stage the 2026 agents behind a measured-ROI gate; keep human approval on any candidate-screening/recommendation path given the escalating Mobley exposure and the 2026-03-06 applicant-coverage ruling.
