AI compression test
Assume capable AI makes ordinary reasoning and software cheap, then identify how much of the claimed advantage disappears.
Under the pillar IP in a World of Abundant Intelligence
Inputs
Name the asset, current advantage, competitor, time horizon, model capability, tool access, and cost assumptions.
Test
Reprice research, engineering, drafting, configuration, support, imitation, and design-around work. Score compression from no meaningful effect to full commoditization.
Output
Record which advantages disappear, which remain, and which become more valuable because surrounding work is cheaper.
Limit
This is a scenario test, not a forecast. Use several assumptions and revisit them when capabilities or costs change.
