The sequential loop can short-circuit.

The article highlights an efficiency gain in AI-assisted code review workflows: when a security reviewer rejects code early, downstream logic and style reviews are skipped, reducing total review calls and compute effort. For CIOs and technology leaders, this means IT organizations can lower operational cost and speed up feedback cycles by sequencing reviews strategically, while also prioritizing security as the gatekeeper in the development process. The business implication is a more scalable governance model that improves engineering throughput without sacrificing control.
