As the software industry shifts toward autonomous agentic code generation, we are witnessing the emergence of the Post-Labor Software Enterprise. This model promises near-zero marginal costs of software creation, yet it introduces profound systemic vulnerabilities.

To evaluate this transition, we critically analyze two schools of thought in AI automation:

1. The "Black Box" Approach: Treating AI as an independent "Android" worker to whom entire software engineering tasks are fully delegated.
2. The "Glass Box" Approach (such as Priset): Treating AI as "Power Armor"—an amplifier that maps structural blueprints first, keeping a human Architect firmly in the loop (HITL) [1].

Below is a socio-economic and quantitative risk-benefit analysis of these two models, modeled for a mid-sized tech company over a three-year horizon.
