Friction Map
See where your team's hours go, and which tasks are ready for AI.
Find out what your most repeated tasks cost your team.
Pick one or two tasks and answer five quick questions about each. You get a one-page Friction Map: the hours, the yearly cost, and whether each task is ready for AI.
Free. It takes a few minutes. You answer from what you already know, and nothing connects to your systems.
How the map decides
The rules are short so you can follow them. The map reads your answers about each task from the top of this list, and the first rule that fits wins.
| If you say | The map says |
|---|---|
| It runs differently every time | Fix the process first |
| The information is on paper, by phone or in memory | Get it into a system first |
| A mistake puts money, safety or compliance at stake | AI prepares, a person decides |
| A customer would notice a mistake | AI drafts, a person approves |
| None of the above | Strong first candidate |
Hours are people multiplied by hours each, shown as a range because your answers are ranges. Open-ended answers, such as 7 or more people, show as at least. The yearly cost uses your own hourly figure and 48 working weeks, rounded to two figures, and the map says so.
What happens to your answers
Nothing you pick is saved in your browser. When you ask for your map, your answers, first name and work email go to our server, which builds the map and emails you a copy. We also send a notice to our team and keep a record in our customer system. The privacy policy has the details: read the privacy policy.
