4 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.

Run AI Power Audit

Use this workflow when founders or executives must separate AI adoption and near-term impact from durable competitive power, test all Seven Powers, identify decaying fake moats, and choose evidence-bound operating bets.

Output specification

Return an AI power audit with workflow_map, seven_power_tests, impact_vs_defensibility, fake_moat_decay, evidence_and_confidence, operating_bets, owners_metrics_and_tests, and kill_or_strengthen_conditions.

Test AI Operating Advantage

Use this workflow when a company claims AI-era power from brand and trust, proprietary data or rights, distribution or talent, or an accumulated process of evaluation, review, learning, and recovery.

Output specification

Return an AI operating advantage test with causal_claims, trust_economics, privileged_resource, process_learning_loop, imitability_and_decay, classification, falsification_tests, and compounding_investments.

Test AI Scale and Network Power

Use this workflow when a company claims AI scale economies or network effects and must prove that volume lowers unit cost or participation increases per-user workflow value in a way competitors cannot readily reproduce.

Output specification

Return a scale and network power test with causal_loops, unit_economics_by_volume, workflow_participant_value, customer_behavior, rights_and_trust, competitor_replication, classification, and falsification_test.

Test Counter-Positioning and Switching

Use this workflow when a company claims incumbents cannot copy its AI business model or customers cannot leave, and must test incumbent self-harm, response paths, valuable operating memory, performance loss, and AI-assisted migration.

Output specification

Return a counter-positioning and switching test with entrant_move, incumbent_self_harm, response_paths, residual_advantage, customer_loss_map, migration_counterfactual, classification, and falsification_tests.

Keep consequential decisions explicit.

These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.

Choose your reading rhythm.

Start with a weekly briefing, add daily notes, or hear only when a durable essay or research update is ready.
