## What it does

This plugin gives leaders a structured way to assess AI adoption, find obstacles, and choose a starting use case. Its skills examine team fluency, workflow fit, and ownership, then help build a rollout plan. Other components check whether the data for a proposed use case is usable and calculate impact across several business dimensions.

The playbook has an adoption stage and a reporting stage. The latter examines how outcomes are measured, how risks are reviewed, and whether reporting can stand up to board scrutiny. It can also help rehearse tough questions and turn the results into a board update.

The plugin does not make up figures. Have the finance owner validate calculations before presenting them to the board. To save company context, add `adoption.local.md` to a folder shared with Cowork or place it in `.claude/` for Claude Code.

## Install

## When to use it
- find what is stopping a team from using AI
- draft a rollout plan with owners and board-cycle milestones
- check whether data is usable for a proposed AI use case
- prepare a board update with documented figures

## Example prompts
- Assess our AI adoption and identify the main blockers for the team.
- Build an AI rollout plan with owners and milestones for the next board cycle.
- Review our AI reporting readiness and help explain the calculations to the CFO.

# AI Adoption Playbook

*From "we're exploring AI" to board-ready results.*

A skills framework for leaders responsible for AI adoption — a consulting methodology in agent-readable skills, not a coding tool.

## Who It's For

- **Founders & CTOs** — the board is asking about AI strategy; you need structured answers with numbers
- **VPs / Directors of Engineering** — "AI adoption" landed on your OKRs; you need to move 50–200 engineers
- **Chief AI Officers & fractional CAIOs** — you need a repeatable framework across teams or clients
- **COOs at non-tech companies** — no CTO exists; AI adoption landed on your desk
- **Consultants & PE operating partners** — you need a structured diagnostic and planning method for engagements

## The Problem

Leadership asks "what's your AI strategy?" You bought tool licenses. You told the team to use them. Nothing happened. Next board meeting, you say "we're exploring AI." The board is unimpressed. Repeat.

This playbook breaks that loop with a structured process: diagnose what's stuck, build a plan with owners and milestones, and produce board-ready updates with real numbers.

> **Note:** The playbook helps you calculate and defend your own numbers — it never invents them. Validate figures with your finance owner before they reach a board.

## Quick Start

After installing (see [Installation](#installation) below), say:

> **"Start AI playbook"**

The playbook picks the right diagnostic for you and takes over. If you'd rather signal your specific situation:

- **"My board is asking about our AI strategy"** — Stage 1: diagnoses adoption blockers, builds the rollout plan
- **"My CFO doesn't believe my AI numbers"** — Stage 2: diagnoses reporting readiness (outcome rigor, risk posture, board defensibility)

## Skills

### Component Skills
| Skill | What it produces |
|-------|-----------------|
| `adoption-scorecard` | Snapshot of who uses what AI tools, how often, how well |
| `board-ai-update` | Board-ready narrative with specific numbers |
| `tool-stack-audit` | What you pay for vs. what gets used |
| `roi-calculator` | Quantified impact across four dimensions — cost efficiency, revenue optimization, new revenue, and capacity gained (revenue per FTE) |
| `data-readiness-check` | Whether the data behind a chosen use case is actually usable, before committing to a plan |

### Interactive Skills
| Skill | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| `fluency-assessment` | Entry point — scores your team across three pillars (psychological barriers, integration, ownership) |
| `reporting-readiness-assessment` | Stage 2 — scores reporting maturity across three pillars (outcome rigor, risk posture, board defensibility) |
| `blocker-diagnosis` | Deep dive into what's stuck and why |
| `first-use-case-picker` | Finds the right starting point for maximum visible wins |
| `90-day-plan-builder` | Phased rollout with board-cycle milestones (Adoption track), or a governance/rollout-review/guardrails build-out (Review Layer track) |
| `board-narrative-coach` | Practice with a skeptical VC, then draft the update |
| `ai-exposure-register` | What AI is actually running, function by function — owner, authority, data reach. Produces the exposure section of the board report. The one skill that can run before the fluency assessment. |

### Workflow Skills
| Skill | What it orchestrates |
|-------|---------------------|
| `full-adoption-cycle` | Assessment -> diagnosis -> use case -> plan -> narrative |
| `quarterly-review` | Re-assess, compare to last quarter, generate board update |

## How It Works

The playbook runs in two stages.

**Stage 1 — Adoption.** Every AI adoption failure maps to one of three pillars:

1. **Psychological barriers** — fear, identity threat, "I don't need it"
2. **Integration failures** — tools don't fit workflows, wrong use cases, too much friction
3. **Ownership gaps** — nobody owns it, no metrics, no accountability
