Methodology

What To Do Next

Offset potential: Medium Separate from the core score. This estimates how much demand, redesign room, and transition support could cushion pressure.

Pastry Chef has some offset potential, but it depends on task redesign holding up in practice and on workers clearing the main switching frictions.

Demand support: Low Transition support: Medium Reallocation room: Medium Switching friction: High

What could slow it down

  • Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
