What is the AI Fitness Check?

The AI Fitness Check helps your team understand which tasks are most suitable for automation.

It uses teamdecoder AI to analyze tasks against five criteria and assigns each task an automation score from 1 to 5:

• 5 = highly automatable — a strong candidate to deputize (hand off)
• 1 = keep with the human — a task to defend

The goal is not to “let AI decide”, but to create transparency and start a structured conversation about what should actually be automated.

Where to find it

You can run the AI Fitness Check in two places:

1. Inside a role (task list)

   Above the task list, you’ll find the AI Fitness Check button.

2. Hybrid Team Planner (team-wide)

   On the Hybrid Team Planner page, you can run an AI Fitness Check for the entire team at once.

How it works

When you click AI Fitness Check, teamdecoder AI reviews each task and evaluates its automation potential against five questions:

1. Frequency — How often does the task happen, and how much time does it consume?
2. Teachability — Could someone (or an AI) be shown how to do it in about 10 minutes?
3. Checkability — Is reviewing the result faster than doing the task yourself?
4. Stakes — How bad would it be if AI got it wrong and nobody noticed?
5. Personal involvement — How much does the quality really depend on this specific person?

High frequency, high teachability, and high checkability raise the score. High stakes and high personal involvement lower it.
