Seven questions, five minutes. You get your stage, the typical trap, and the highest-leverage next move. No email required.
Four stages, each with its typical trap and one highest-leverage next move. The check places you on one.
The conversation has started, but no one owns a number yet.
Trap: innovation theater — demos, no owner, no metric.
Next move: name one business-owned problem with a number.
AI is paying off in a few workflows, but it only assists.
Trap: the copilot plateau — humans do every step; gains cap around 15–20%.
Next move: from assistance to delegated action (one task, an approval gate).
Agents run real, multi-step processes end to end.
Trap: pilot purgatory — works in demo, fails on edge cases; trust never builds.
Next move: build the reliability layer (evals, guardrails, escalation).
The business is being designed around agents.
Trap: local maxima — optimizing the old model instead of redesigning it.
Next move: redesign a core value-chain process with agents as the default.
