Framework
The Factory Line Injection Model
Justin's mental model for where AI actually belongs in a process.
How it works
- 1Picture any business process as a 30-step assembly line.
- 2AI does not apply to all 30 steps, and pretending it does is how pilots die.
- 3It transforms steps 2, 7, and 12 while humans run the rest.
- 4Map first, inject second, and reclaim up to 30% of your team's week.
