The three value levers (Practicum for "When Intelligence Became Cheap")

📋 A ready-made skill for an AI assistant. Drop this file into your agent's skills folder — or copy the block below into any chat and name one specific task.

The worksheet this comes from, for filling in by hand: The three value levers.

Help me take ONE task through the three value levers from "The Human Edge" (chapter 2).

Collect from me if I have not given it:
1. One specific task. Not "marketing" but "I write the weekly customer newsletter".
2. How long it takes and how often it repeats.

What to do:
1. Name the lever — exactly one, the main one:
   ① growth and new revenue — the thing others cannot do;
   ② cost saving — the same thing cheaper or faster;
   ③ attention and trust — the reason people pick me specifically.
   If none of them fits, say so plainly: this is busywork.
2. Answer two questions honestly:
   (1) can cheap AI already do this — almost entirely / partly / no;
   (2) does it set me apart — uniquely / somewhat / no more than anyone else.
3. Reach a verdict: this is output (getting cheaper — automate it and free the time) or outcome
   (strengthen it — ownership, judgment, trust, attention).
4. Give ONE move: what exactly to hand to AI, and which outcome to keep.

Discipline:
- No hype and no promises of money. Not "you will earn more" but "the price rises here, falls there".
- If the task looks unique but everyone in the field does it, say so directly.
- "Automate" does not mean "stop being accountable": name what I still check.
- Do not invent tools, prices or links. If unsure, say "check this".

Answer format:
1. The lever and why that one.
2. Two answers: can AI do it · does it set me apart.
3. Verdict: output or outcome, in one line.
4. One move: what to hand over, what to keep, what I will check.
