The future-proof audit
Three tools. What your week is actually made of. Where you stand across six dimensions. And the one-line diagnosis that follows. Everything saves on this device.
What “Task exposure” means, in plain English
How much of your week sits in work a machine can already do. A task scores red when it is repeatable, digital, needs no judgement and carries no consequence. Red is not a failure — it is the part to move first.
1 · Your ten tasksRed, amber, greenThree or four yeses out of the four questions makes a task red — the bottom rung. Two makes it amber. Nought or one makes it green. The colour is about the task, never about you.
The things you actually did last week. Not your job description. Give each one the share of your week it took, then answer the four questions. Three or four yeses turns a row red. Two turns it amber. One or none is green.
Your exposure
—
Go and find: at least one task, with the share of your week it took.
2 · Six dimensions, out of 60
Score each one 1 to 10, honestly. A flattering score is a wasted evening.
Task exposure
How much of your week sat in red rows in the tool above?
The tool above gives you this number. Under 20% scores 10. Over 80% scores 1.
Judgement
In the last month, how many decisions did you make where the result landed on you?
Carrying out somebody else's decision does not count. It has to be your call, with something at stake.
Trust
If you disappeared tomorrow, how many people would personally call to find out where you went?
Count the ones who need you. Not the ones who like you.
Taste
Put three versions of the same work in front of you. Can you say exactly why one is better?
'I prefer this one' scores low. A reason somebody else could check scores high.
Agency
In the last 90 days, what did you finish and put out that nobody asked you for?
Zero is the most common answer. It is also the most expensive one.
AI leverage
How far have you taken AI? You ask it questions. You build repeatable processes with it. Or you own systems that run without you.
Asking questions scores 1–3. Building processes scores 4–7. Owning systems that sell the output instead of your hours scores 8–10.
Your score
— of 60
Still to score: task exposure, judgement, trust, taste, agency, ai leverage. No total until all six are in. A number built from half the answers is worse than no number.
3 · The three lettersT · B · FThree things a future-proof position needs together. T is Technology — your niche. B is Business — your domain. F is Future — a booked, repeating slot for studying where your field is going. Two out of three has a name and a price.
Six dimensions gave you a number. Three questions tell you what to do about it.
T · Technology — the nicheNicheThe one skill you can name in five words and somebody could buy today. Not five certificates — one thing, one inch wide and one mile deep. If naming it takes a paragraph, you do not have one yet.
Can you name your one skill in five words? And could somebody buy it today?
If it takes a paragraph, this is a No. That is information, not a failure.
B · Business — the domainDomainThe one industry you know well enough to say where its money leaks. Having worked in it is not enough. You know who signs, what a good month looks like, and what everybody in it complains about.
Pick one industry. Do you know where its money leaks?
Having worked in it is not enough. You know who signs. You know what a good month looks like. You know what everybody in it complains about.
F · Future — the radarT · B · FThree things a future-proof position needs together. T is Technology — your niche. B is Business — your domain. F is Future — a booked, repeating slot for studying where your field is going. Two out of three has a name and a price.
Do you have a repeating 90-minute slot in your calendar for studying where your field is going?
'I read a lot' is a No. An appointment is a Yes.
Your diagnosis
Answer all three and the diagnosis appears. Most people have exactly one letter. That is not a failure. It is a map.
