Assessment v2 · Pain-to-Power

A decision, not a description.

Most assessments tell you where the hours go. This one tells you what to do about it: a readiness tier, the root pain behind the symptom, an AI-fit verdict per workflow, and a five-layer cost stack, in one page, in your browser. Nothing uploads.

STAGE 0 · 30 SECONDS

Readiness tier

Five questions. Your tier gates everything below, the right next move is different at Crawl than at Sprint.

STAGE 1 · PAIN ARCHAEOLOGY

Find the root, not the symptom.

Behavior-first: describe the last time, not the general case. Two "whys" minimum.

STAGE 2 · AI-FIT SCORE

Name one workflow. Score it.

Six signals, 1–5 each. This gates whether AI belongs in the workflow at all.

Volume, how often does it run?3
Rarely → many times a day
Repetitiveness, same shape each time?3
Every one is snowflake → same shape, every time
Language, text/email/doc in and out?3
No text → heavy reading/writing
Judgment, pattern-based or deep expertise?3
Deep expert judgment → pattern judgment
Data, reachable, clean, trusted?3
Scattered/unknown → clean and reachable
Error tolerance, what if it's occasionally wrong?3
Catastrophic → cheap and recoverable
STAGE 3 · FIVE-LAYER COST STACK

Hours × rate is layer one of five.

STAGE 4 · THE SCORECARD

One page. One next move.

Nothing uploads. Your email app opens a draft you can review, edit, or discard. Submission requests a conversation about scope, not a booking.
