Tool 02
The Intelligent Layer Framework
A structured methodology for mapping AI capabilities onto existing business operations. Designed for CEOs who run established businesses and need a practical way to sequence AI adoption without rebuilding from scratch.
The framework identifies which workflow to automate first using a four-question filter, calculates the time-back number for each candidate, and runs a 14-day test protocol with a clear scale-or-stop decision rule.
Step 1 — The Four-Question Filter
Identify which workflows pass: weekly frequency, repeatable pattern, structured inputs, fast human verification.
Step 2 — Calculate the Time-Back Number
Hours per week × people × 50 weeks = annual hours recoverable. This is the number the AI layer must beat.
Step 3 — The 14-Day Test Protocol
Deploy to 3–5 people. Measure hours recovered and error rate. Scale at ≥60% recovery or stop and try the next candidate.
