Product thinking you can touch.

Four working tools, no backend and no API calls — start with the first one.

Tool 01

AI Readiness Assessment — five dimensions

Dimension 1 of 5 · Data foundations

How usable is the data the work would actually run on?

Not the warehouse diagram — the data a model or an agent would have to read on a Tuesday.

Dimension 2 of 5 · Workflow clarity

How well is the target workflow actually described?

AI can only automate a step you can name, and only measure an outcome you already count.

Dimension 3 of 5 · Decision rights and governance

Who decides what ships, and what happens when it is wrong?

The bottleneck in most AI programmes is not the model. It is that nobody can approve anything.

Dimension 4 of 5 · Capability density

How concentrated is the ability to build and run this?

One heroic engineer is a single point of failure, not a capability.

Dimension 5 of 5 · Adoption posture

How do the people doing the work today react to it?

Adoption is a design constraint, not a change-management afterthought.

The scoring model and what to do with each dimension is the essay The AI Readiness Score.

AI Unit Economics Calculator

Most AI business cases die on the second attempt and the human review queue, not on the model price. Put your numbers in.

Cost per completed task = (1 + retry rate) × model cost + review rate × review cost. Everything is computed in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.

Product Strategy Question of the Day

1 / 4

What’s the one AI use case that would most reduce your team’s manual coordination?

Philosophy

Why I build in public.

These tools exist to demonstrate a principle: the best way to evaluate product and AI thinking is to interact with it, not read about it. Every tool here started as a real framework I use in advisory work.
