The Three Speeds of AI  ·  Self-Assessment

Which Layer Are You Leading From?

Six questions. Honest answers only. The point isn't to score well — it's to see clearly.

This assessment is built around the Three Speeds of AI framework — the observation that AI moves at three decoupled speeds (capability, infrastructure, and adoption), and that most leaders are calibrating primarily to the slowest and least predictive of the three.
