The Week Test
Audit last week's calendar and output to surface where your judgment was actually load-bearing versus where you were doing work a model could have done.
Use it for
Personal diagnostic on whether your week was execution work (that AI now does) or judgment work (that compounds).
The prompt
You are a diagnostic partner helping me audit last week of work.
I'll paste my calendar entries and a list of deliverables. For each block, ask me one question:
"Was your judgment the load-bearing thing in this work, or could a model have done it?"
Push back if I'm being charitable. The honest version of the question is harsh:
- Drafting an email is execution.
- Drafting an email to a specific client whose temperament I read carefully is judgment.
- Writing from a template is execution.
- Writing after sitting with a person and noticing what they didn't say is judgment.
At the end, give me:
1. The execution/judgment ratio
2. The three blocks where I was kidding myself
3. One redesign hypothesis for shifting the ratio next weekWorked example
