The 8 Methods
AEBOK is organized as eight methods, walking an enterprise from first assessment to running execution. Each method answers one question an organization must settle before its systems can safely decide.
AI Strategy and Opportunity Framing
Where is the real opportunity, and what should this company refuse to automate? This method turns AI ambition into an honest transformation roadmap, with stage-honest goals, no-go zones, and outcomes a board can hold someone to.
AI Readiness Assessment
Is the organization actually ready for the autonomy it wants? This method measures readiness across the dimensions that decide success, and names the ceiling: the level of autonomy the evidence currently supports, rather than the level the ambition requests.
Use-Case Prioritization and Business Case
With too many attractive AI ideas, which decisions come first? This method screens candidates for fit, adjusts priority for readiness, and produces a business case that survives scrutiny, because feasibility alone never decides.
Human and AI Operating Model Design
When AI enters a workflow, who does what now? This method redesigns roles, handoffs, and checkpoints so the humans and the systems each own the work they are actually suited to, with an operating rhythm that holds.
The Commit Path
The flagship. Who answers when the system decides? This method locates every commit point in a workflow, assesses each decision for risk and reversibility, assigns its autonomy mode, and writes the boundary with a named owner.
Learn the Commit PathAutonomous Workflow Design
How is a capability built so autonomy is earned rather than assumed? This method sets the autonomy line, the evidence preconditions, the write paths, the fallback, and the record, before the agent touches production.
Workforce Impact and Adoption
What happens to the people whose decisions move? This method maps the decision delta role by role, designs the supervision jobs that autonomy creates, and treats adoption as behavior to be earned, not announced.
AI Transformation Execution
How does a pilot become a running capability without the risk arriving at scale? This method governs the evidence pilot, the supervised period, and the promotion verdict, so capability scales only when the record says it should.
