Task exposure
80%
Most of this task is already automatable. Your value moves to review and judgement.
First drafts, outlines, headline variants and length trims.
The argument, the point of view and the final edit.
Never publish a draft you did not rewrite at least once in your own voice.
Spend the reclaimed time on interviews and original examples — the part nothing can fake.
Each category carries a fixed exposure figure based on how much of the work is text in, text out, with verifiable output. Data cleanup and drafting sit high; negotiation and feedback sit low, because the value there is trust rather than throughput.
Hours back apply a sixty percent realisation factor to the exposed share. You never recover the full theoretical saving, because reviewing, correcting and re-prompting all cost real minutes that most estimates quietly ignore.
The guardrail line matters more than the number. Almost every bad outcome from delegating work to a model comes from skipping verification on the one task where being wrong was expensive.
