Quadrant Summary

PRIME CANDIDATES (High Frequency + High Complexity): These are your best targets. High ROI because they happen often AND are error-prone/complex.

• Task(s): _______

QUICK WINS (High Frequency + Low Complexity): Good for simple scripting or a single-tool agent. Won't impress at Day 3, but easy to ship.

• Task(s): _______

ASSIST MODE (Low Frequency + High Complexity): Build AI-assisted tooling that helps when these rare but difficult tasks occur.

• Task(s): _______

SKIP (Low Frequency + Low Complexity): Manual effort is already low — automation overhead isn't worth it.

• Task(s): _______
