AI amplifies what it finds. The Bearing reads what it would find.

the three parts

The questions start with your tools, move to you, and end with the two together. They're about what happens in your work, not what you believe about AI, and the true answer serves you better than the flattering one.

Artificial Intelligence

your tools, as set today

What you use, how far along you are, what your AI keeps about you, and how quickly the work could be pulled together if you needed it.

What does the AI you use remember about you right now?

WILD Intelligence™

what makes you unique

The calls only you make, whether anyone could act on them while you're away, what happens to new tools a year on, and what you reach for when the week goes wrong.

An unusual request comes in while you're away. What actually happens?

WILD×AI™

the two together

What you want AI to make possible, whether it works from you or from everyone, what would come with you if you changed tools, and where it stays out.

How close would you let AI get to a mistake you can't take back?

what you get

Your result opens on a one-page map: your strongest area, your biggest constraint, the opening in front of you, what to watch, your next move and one question to carry. Below it are the exact settings to check in the AI you use, what's ready now, what can wait, what stays closed, and a prompt to paste in tonight.

It's written for your kind of work and it's yours to save. There's no score, because a business isn't a grade. See a sample →

level two

If you want to go further, level two is thirty minutes with Chris, free. You go through what's really possible for you, what guardrails you'd want and what's already happening in your organization, and if you'd rather, you open your AI together and do one real job. Afterward he sends a note: what he heard, what he'd do first and what he can't see yet. If a map makes sense, the Terrain Map is the next step: where AI belongs in your organization and where it must not go, yours to keep, about $3,500 for a small organization.

the five questions

Five questions sit under all of this, asked of every AI you use, including the ones we build. Each one is a trade to make on purpose, not a test to pass.

PrivateWhere does it send what it sees, and who governs that?
PersonalIs it built around you, or around the default?
PersistentDoes it remember, and is it there when you are not?
PortableCan you leave with it, files and all?
PrincipledIs it built for your flourishing, or for their engagement?
