The 5S method

A way of thinking about your work, not a list of prompt tricks.

Prompt tricks expire the moment models change. Our method teaches people to look at their own work and see what AI can do with it: which process, which tasks, which order. That logic doesn’t change.

  1. 1

    Spot

    Find a recurring process that ends in a deliverable. Not “use AI more,” but one specific piece of work you do every week or month.

  2. 2

    Split

    Break the process into its component tasks. Most work that feels like one job is really a dozen smaller ones.

  3. 3

    Score

    Separate what AI can own from what needs your judgment. This is where domain knowledge matters most, and where outsiders get it wrong.

  4. 4

    Solve

    Build the automation, starting from one of our tested scaffolds. This is the only technical step, and it gets easier every time AI improves.

  5. 5

    Sequence

    Weave the automation into a workflow you and your team actually use. An automation nobody runs adds no value.

Why it works

Workflow redesign is what separates the leaders.

Companies getting the most value from AI are 2.8x more likely to fundamentally redesign their workflows. That is what the 5S method teaches, applied by the people who know those workflows best.

Why it lasts

Only one step is technical, so the method gets stronger as AI improves.

It works from zero AI experience, and what people learn applies to every process they touch after the program.
