Augmentation MapWAVE

Calibrate it to your organisation

Three questions. Each one changes the answers this tool gives you, which is why they come first rather than as background.

How regulated is your organisation?

Where does AI stand in your organisation today?

Roughly what does an hour of your people's time cost, fully loaded?

$ Salary plus on-costs and overhead, not the salary alone. A rough number is fine. You can change it on the map.

Pick one workflow and break it apart

Choose something high effort and high frustration. List the tasks the way your team would describe them, with a rough guess at hours per week across everyone who touches it.


Tasks in this workflow

Hours per week

Six to ten tasks is the right level. Too few and the map says nothing.

Decide, task by task

Six questions per task. The framework proposes a position on the scale and tells you why. You can overrule it, and often you should.
