The 10-Point Career Audit
Do I own a decision that AI cannot make?
AI can suggest, but owning the consequence is the moat.
Have I shipped a 'Proof Artifact' this month?
A document that proves your strategic judgment and synthesis.
Does my leadership see me as an 'Owner' or an 'Operator'?
Owners define goals; operators execute steps.
Can my primary deliverable be simulated with a prompt?
If yes, your role is currently being commoditized.
Do I have a 'Human Map' of my stakeholders?
Political navigation remains a strictly human high-leverage skill.
Am I using 'Grounded AI' protocols?
Using AI to amplify judgment rather than replace it.
Is my network built on 'Presence' or 'Proof'?
Being known for what you've shipped is more resilient than being known for who you are.
Do I have a 30/60/90 Day Operation Plan?
Passive growth is a risk in 2025; you need a tactical roadmap.
Am I moving toward ambiguity?
The more ambiguous the problem, the more 'Judgment' it requires.
Would my role exist if the company went remote?
A test for true asset-based value vs. presence-based value.
How many 'No' answers did you have?
If you answered 'No' to more than 3, your career resilience score is likely in the danger zone.
