Where does your team rank?

Nine questions about how you actually work with AI — mapped to the five layers of Cognitive Orchestration. No sign-up, no email. Answer honestly; the tier only means something if you do.


  1. 01 Intent

    Different kinds of work go to different specialized configurations — not one generic assistant doing everything.

  2. 02 Context

    What your team knows — conventions, guardrails, hard-won lessons — is written down where the AI reads it every time.

  3. 03 Context

    Your AI keeps following your conventions deep into a long session, without you re-reminding it.

  4. 04 Guardrails

    Your must-never-break rules are enforced by something outside the model — not merely asked for in a prompt.

  5. 05 Instructions

    Work moves through defined phases with approval points, rather than one big prompt and hope.

  6. 06 Human-on-the-Loop

    You define the boundaries and review outcomes — not typing every line, not rubber-stamping a black box.

  7. 07 Learning

    Lessons from one session are captured so the next session starts ahead, not from zero.

  8. 08 Compounding

    A new teammate — or a new model — inherits your accumulated setup instead of starting over.

  9. 09 Accountability

    You can point to who decided what, and why, across your AI-assisted work.
