The Six-Lens Opportunity Map
Traditional process mapping shows you how work flows today. It won't tell you where AI will fail tomorrow.
Traditional process mapping shows you how work flows today. It won’t tell you where AI will fail tomorrow. This canvas gives you the six analytical lenses to apply to every candidate process step before a single line of code gets written — so your AI backlog doesn’t fill up with expensive, unscalable demonstrations.
Pair this with From Process Maps to AI Opportunity Maps for the fuller argument on why deterministic process maps and probabilistic AI don’t mix without this step in between.
What’s inside
- The six lenses: Volume, Variation, Information burden, Judgment, Reversibility, and Feedback — the strategic focus and operational question behind each one
- The six AI patterns: Retrieve, Extract & classify, Summarize & transform, Generate, Recommend & predict, and Orchestrate — so “AI feature” stops being a vague catch-all
