Monitoring and oversight.

Part of the output can be produced by software today.

A scheduled check against a live source, with an alert when something moves, is one of the cheapest things on this page to automate, and software will watch far more indicators than a person can hold in their head. What it does not do is notice the thing nobody thought to watch for, or decide that a reading is worth acting on.
