The gap between AI adoption and meaningful EBIT impact isn’t a technology problem; it’s an alignment problem. Organizations invest heavily in AI initiatives without first asking: Do we have the right tribal capacity to execute on our strategic priorities?

The Capacity-Priority Mismatch Matrix is a diagnostic tool that reveals where your organization’s tribal composition (Explorers, Automators, Validators) fails to align with your strategic priorities. High mismatch = high failure risk.

This framework, derived from Anthropic’s research on AI user behavior patterns, provides a systematic way to identify gaps before they become costly failures. Organizations that maintain low mismatch scores report 2.3x higher EBIT impact from their AI investments.

Now you can join the Business Engineering Thinking OS program by subscribing to it directly from here (select The BE Thinking OS). This is a high-touch, AI-native coaching program designed to embed AI throughout your professional workflow, amplifying your impact as an executive, practitioner, entrepreneur, and more.

I sit down with you to understand what business goals you want to achieve in the coming months, then map out the use cases, and from there embed the BE Thinking OS into the memory layer of ChatGPT or Claude, for you to become what I call a Super Individual Contributor, Manager, Executive, or Solopreneur.
