Methodology

What To Do Next

Offset potential: Medium Separate from the core score. This estimates how much demand, redesign room, and transition support could cushion pressure.

Chief operating officer/General Manager has some offset potential, but it depends on task redesign holding up in practice and on workers clearing the main switching frictions.

Demand support: Low Transition support: Medium Reallocation room: High Switching friction: High

What helps

  • A meaningful share of the work can likely be reorganized around AI rather than removed outright.

What could slow it down

  • Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
