Instruments
Three small calculators that make this site’s core claims testable on your own numbers. Drag the sliders — the point is to feel the asymmetry, not to be told about it.
The five-test scorer
Score a workflow before anyone announces it.
The playbook’s five tests, as an instrument. Describe the workflow honestly — the scorer tells you whether it has the shape of automation that compounds, or the shape that ends up as a case study on this site.
Open the instrument →OverheatedThe reversal calculator
What cutting ahead of the evidence actually costs.
Set the team size, what the bot really covers, and how deep the cut goes. The calculator splits the seats into covered and overcut, prices the rehiring round, and shows when the year-one savings survive it — and when they don’t.
Open the instrument →FrozenThe waiting meter
Standing still is also a bet. This is its price curve.
Competitors quietly get more efficient on the boring, automatable share of the work. Set how fast, how much of your cost base that touches, and your margin — the meter draws the point where matching their prices consumes it.
Open the instrument →A deliberately small model — built to make one asymmetry visible, not to forecast your business. The assumptions are conservative and the arithmetic is in the open.
