Where should AI actually join your workforce?

Most companies do not need 36 AI agents. They need to identify the handful of roles where AI can remove expensive friction, improve decisions, create capacity, or unlock growth—and prove the economics before they scale.

BUSINESS FIRST · VALUE SECOND · AI THIRD
THE REALITY

Coverage is not the goal. Leverage is.

The original concept has a strong visual discovery mechanic: map AI roles across functions, show what is covered, then reveal the gap. But simply counting “missing roles” can imply that every uncovered role is an opportunity. The better Feldman version asks a harder question: Which AI roles are worth deploying for this business, right now?

01 / THE FILTER

Every AI role has to earn its seat.

VALUE
Is there money or capacity at stake?

Revenue, margin, labor, cycle time, customer experience or risk must materially move.

REPETITION
Is there enough recurring work?

AI is most useful where a meaningful workflow happens frequently enough to compound value.

FIT
Can AI do the work credibly?

Language, analysis, knowledge retrieval, prediction and multi-step coordination have different fit.

READINESS
Can the company operationalize it?

Data, process, adoption, integration and human oversight determine whether potential becomes return.

STEP 1 OF 5

01 / BUSINESS CONTEXT

What business are we actually trying to improve?

AI should enter through a business priority, not through a technology wish list.
02 / EXPENSIVE FRICTION

Where is the organization paying for work that should be easier?

Select the functions where work is repetitive, slow, manual, inconsistent, information-heavy, or dependent on a few people.
03 / CURRENT AI COVERAGE

What is already meaningfully covered?

Mark roles where AI is already embedded in a real workflow. A chatbot somebody occasionally opens does not count.
04 / OPPORTUNITY MAP

Which roles deserve investigation?

Select roles that could plausibly address the business priorities or friction you identified. The report will rank—not simply count—the opportunities.

0 PRIORITY AI ROLES
01 / EXECUTIVE CALL

02 / PRIORITY WORKFORCE

The AI roles worth pressure-testing first.

03 / PORTFOLIO VIEW

Do not treat every role the same.

DEPLOY / PILOT
High-value, credible fit

Roles connected to current priorities and expensive friction. Define a measurable outcome and prove them in a controlled workflow.

ENABLE FIRST
Potential blocked by readiness

Useful roles where data, workflow design, adoption or integration must improve before deployment.

COMMODITY / BUY
Useful but not differentiating

Common capabilities that should usually be rented or bought rather than custom-built.

IGNORE FOR NOW
AI without a business case

Interesting capabilities disconnected from a meaningful business outcome. Do not create an AI program just to increase coverage.

04 / WHAT TO DO NEXT

Move from role idea to investment decision.

05 / THE FELDMAN ADVISORY CALL

Do not build an AI workforce. Build leverage.

The objective is not to deploy the most AI. It is to identify the smallest set of AI-enabled roles that can materially improve the economics or operating capacity of the business, prove those roles, and then compound from evidence.
