Four AI value pools — defined by autonomy, not technology
Higher autonomy does not automatically score higher. A well-placed copilot frequently out-earns an autonomous agent at a fraction of the risk.
Assist
Fastest time-to-value, lowest risk, highest adoption. Best on knowledge-intensive work.
Human decides. AI drafts and explains.
Assignment is an output of the engine, not a preference. An opportunity only enters a pool when its work characteristics, economics and governance gate all permit it.
Opportunities assigned to this pool
No opportunity currently qualifies for this pool under the base scenario. That is a finding, not a gap.
AI autonomy maturity
Eight levels. Organizations may enter at any level; no process must reach autonomy to deliver value.
Create content, summaries and documentation from structured inputs.
Condense complex information for faster human consumption.
Explain patterns, exceptions and meaning from data.
Suggest decisions with transparent reasoning; human approves.
Prepare work packages and stage decisions for sign-off.
Execute approved actions within defined rules.
Coordinate multi-step workflows across systems and agents.
Monitor, decide, act, verify and escalate within guardrails.
