**Affirmed position.** Dogonowski identifies a corresponding institutional constraint in AI deployment. Computational capability scales faster than an organization's capacity to validate AI-mediated outputs. The model therefore treats verification, not generation, as the binding constraint on safe deployment and shows how costly verification can produce a stable zero-verification equilibrium. This independently extends Kaal's proposition that abundant individual computation can relocate boundedness to institutional verification capacity. The evidence is limited to a posted organizational model. It does not establish that computation exceeds every decision requirement, or that aggregation and collective action are the only remaining constraints.

**Holds when.**

- The response is limited to the exact Crossref-deposited SSRN abstract passages and the one mapped Kaal claim.
- External evidence level: complete Crossref-deposited SSRN abstract with concordant Crossref DOI, title, author, deposited date, and OpenAlex record. SSRN PDF access returned HTTP 403.
- Mapping review tier: independent substantive scholarly-growth extension.
- The record is posted SSRN content and is not classified as peer reviewed.
- The SSRN PDF returned HTTP 403, so the retained evidence is limited to the complete Crossref-deposited abstract.
- The model does not establish that computation exceeds every decision requirement.
- The source directly supports institutional verification scarcity but does not establish that aggregation and collective action are the only remaining constraints.
- The paper presents an organizational model rather than field evidence.
- Semantic Scholar returned HTTP 429. No blocked response was promoted.
