How this was checked
Checked against the source by a first reader, then confirmed independently by a second reader who fetched the source without seeing the first reader's notes (Independent review agent (Claude Sonnet), blind second pass from passage text and citation only, no repository access, 2026-11-01).
Captions at 0:36-0:43 read 'Over the last year, all of the investments we made in agentic AI have led to more than 70% of our PRs now either by local or cloud agents.' Whisper mishears 'agentic AI' as 'agent KIA'. The passage spells '70%' as 'seventy percent', which I accepted as a spoken-number rendering.
