How the Lab works

For a task you might hand to AI, the Lab walks you through weighing what it saves against what it displaces — then you write a short discernment memo and decide.

The flow

  1. Name the task and who it affects.
  2. Predict what AI would save, gain, displace, and what you'd forgo.
  3. Time three or more ways of doing it (human-led, assisted, hybrid, agentic).
  4. Log the visible savings and the hidden costs.
  5. Check your bandwidth, review any agentic delegation, and weigh stakeholders.
  6. Write a discernment memo. Live meters show your read as you go.

The point isn't to avoid AI — it's discernment: protecting human capacities and dignity while using powerful tools well.
