CODITECT Strategic Impact Analysis

Based on Microsoft Research: Working with AI Study (2024)​

Analysis Date: January 21, 2026
Study: Measuring the Applicability of Generative AI to Occupations (Tomlinson et al., Microsoft Research)
CODITECT Context: Work automation platform focused on eliminating 60-90% of repetitive work

Executive Summary​

Critical Finding for CODITECT:
This study provides empirical validation that information work is AI's sweet spot - exactly where CODITECT operates. However, it reveals a strategic tension: the research shows AI is better at assisting existing H.P.006-WORKFLOWS (user goals) than automating tasks entirely (AI actions). CODITECT's messaging around "eliminating repetitive work" needs recalibration based on these usage patterns.

Key Strategic Implications:

  1. ✅ Validated Market: Information work tasks show 80-92% completion rates
  2. ⚠️ Messaging Gap: "Elimination" framing doesn't match AI's actual strength in "assistance"
  3. 🎯 Target Refinement: Focus on 127 high-success IWAs, not all repetitive work
  4. 💰 ROI Reframe: Productivity multiplier approach better than work elimination
  5. 🏢 Enterprise Angle: Study uses consumer data; enterprise patterns may differ significantly

Part 1: Market Validation​

Total Addressable Employment in High-Applicability Roles: ~75M workers in information-intensive occupations

What This Validates for CODITECT​

✅ "20x ROI in 20 days" is plausible for information work tasks
✅ "60-90% elimination" is achievable but only for narrow task subsets
✅ Enterprise AI rollout expertise directly addresses the highest-value market segment
✅ Focus on repetitive information work aligns with empirically proven AI capabilities

Part 2: Strategic Tensions & Messaging Gaps​

Tension 1: Elimination vs Assistance​

Study Finding:

  • AI assists broader range of tasks than it performs directly
  • User goal applicability consistently higher than AI action applicability
  • AI performs average 2 support activities per user request
  • "Asymmetry pattern" - AI helps more than it replaces

CODITECT Current Positioning:

  • "Eliminate 60-90% of repetitive work"
  • Implies automation/replacement model
  • Focus on task elimination rather than workflow augmentation

The Gap:

CODITECT Message          Study Reality
─────────────────         ─────────────
"Eliminate work"    ≠     "Assist with work"
"Automation"        ≠     "Augmentation"
"Replace tasks"     ≠     "Enhance H.P.006-WORKFLOWS"

Strategic Risk:

  • Customer expectations set for elimination, delivery is augmentation
  • May undervalue collaboration model that study shows is more prevalent
  • Misses the "human + AI" story that resonates with less-threatened workers

Tension 2: "Repetitive Work" Definition​

Study Shows Success Varies Dramatically by Task Type:

High Success (85-92% completion):

  • Standardized customer inquiries (repetitive ✅)
  • Policy/procedure explanations (repetitive ✅)
  • Information lookup and retrieval (repetitive ✅)
  • Template-based content creation (repetitive ✅)

Lower Success (40-65% completion):

  • Visual design tasks (may be repetitive, but AI weak)
  • Mathematical data analysis (may be repetitive, but accuracy issues)
  • Creative content generation (less repetitive by nature)
  • Physical task coordination (out of scope)

Implication for CODITECT: Not all repetitive work is AI-suitable. Must refine to "repetitive information work" with characteristics:

  1. Text-based
  2. Uses publicly available or standardized knowledge
  3. Follows known patterns
  4. Non-creative/non-artistic
  5. Doesn't require mathematical precision

Tension 3: Consumer vs Enterprise Usage Patterns​

Study Limitation (Critical for CODITECT):

  • Data from consumer-facing Bing Copilot
  • May not reflect enterprise workflow patterns
  • Missing context of:
    • Internal knowledge bases
    • Proprietary processes
    • Compliance requirements
    • System integrations
    • Workflow orchestration

CODITECT's Enterprise Advantage:

  • Study shows general capabilities
  • Enterprise deployment = contextual capabilities
  • RAG systems with company knowledge
  • Process automation beyond single conversations
  • Integration with existing tools

Strategic Opportunity: Position CODITECT as bridging the "consumer AI" capabilities shown in study with "enterprise AI" requirements:

  • Consumer AI: 80-90% completion on generic tasks
  • Enterprise AI with CODITECT: 90-95% completion on company-specific H.P.006-WORKFLOWS

Part 3: Product Development Insights​

Priority 1: Focus on the 127 High-Success IWAs​

Instead of "eliminate all repetitive work," target proven high-success activities:

Tier 1 - Immediate ROI (90%+ completion):

  1. Customer inquiry response systems
  2. Policy/procedure explanation engines
  3. Information retrieval and synthesis
  4. Standard correspondence generation
  5. FAQ and knowledge base maintenance

Tier 2 - Strong ROI (85-90% completion): 6. Document editing and proofreading 7. Content summarization and repurposing 8. Research and competitive intelligence 9. Training material creation 10. Meeting notes and action item extraction

Tier 3 - Moderate ROI (75-85% completion): 11. Data analysis for insights (with human verification) 12. Planning and scheduling assistance 13. Evaluation and comparison tasks 14. Translation and localization

Avoid/Defer (Sub-70% completion):

  • Visual design generation
  • Mathematical modeling without verification
  • Creative ideation (unless human-in-loop)
  • Authentication/verification tasks

Priority 2: Build User Goal + AI Action Orchestration​

Study Insight:

  • Average 3 user goal IWAs + 6 AI action IWAs per conversation
  • 2:1 ratio means AI performs multiple support tasks per user request
  • Asymmetry is a feature, not a bug

CODITECT Product Implication: Don't build "task replacers" - build "workflow orchestrators" that:

  1. Accept user goals (the 3 IWAs)
  2. Execute AI actions (the 6 IWAs)
  3. Synthesize results back to user context
  4. Learn patterns to anticipate next goals

Example Workflow:

User Goal: "Respond to customer complaint about billing"

AI Actions Orchestrated by CODITECT:
1. Retrieve customer account history
2. Look up billing policy details
3. Check for similar past cases
4. Draft response with empathetic tone
5. Suggest resolution options
6. Generate follow-up task reminders

Result: User validates/edits draft, sends - 80% time savings

This is augmentation with automation characteristics - the study's actual pattern.

Part 5: Competitive Positioning​

CODITECT's Unique Angle: Enterprise + Evidence​

Competitive Landscape:

Competitor TypeTheir PositioningCODITECT Differentiation
Consumer AI (ChatGPT, Claude)"Can do anything!""We focus on what actually works (study-backed 85%+ tasks) in your enterprise context"
RPA Vendors (UiPath, Automation Anywhere)"Automate processes""Modern AI for information work, not just button-clicking robots"
AI Point Solutions"Best-in-class for X""Orchestrated platform for all your information-intensive H.P.006-WORKFLOWS"

  • Proven 85-92% success rates on customer communication, documentation, and knowledge tasks
  • Eliminate repetitive H.P.006-WORKFLOWS, augment creative decisions
  • 20x ROI in 20 days on tasks backed by 200,000 real AI interactions"

Part 6: ROI Calculator Refinement​

Current Approach (Problematic)​

Assumptions in existing calculator:

  • All "repetitive work" equally automatable
  • Linear elimination model (60-90% gone)
  • Uniform productivity gains

Problems:

  • Study shows wide variance (40-92% success by task type)
  • Elimination vs augmentation confusion
  • Doesn't account for scope differences

New Calculator Framework:

# Inputs
employee_count = 100
avg_hours_per_week = 40
hourly_cost = 75  # fully loaded

# Task Distribution (user-customizable, defaults from study)
task_breakdown = {
    "tier_1_tasks": 0.25,  # Customer inquiries, explanations (90%+ completion)
    "tier_2_tasks": 0.30,  # Document work, research (85-90% completion)
    "tier_3_tasks": 0.25,  # Analysis, planning (75-85% completion)
    "non_AI_tasks": 0.20,  # Creative, physical, interpersonal
}

# Productivity Multipliers (from study data)
multipliers = {
    "tier_1_tasks": 4.5,  # High automation + assistance (10-15 min → 2-3 min)
    "tier_2_tasks": 3.0,  # Moderate automation + assistance (30 min → 10 min)
    "tier_3_tasks": 1.5,  # Assistance only (60 min → 40 min)
    "non_AI_tasks": 1.0,  # No improvement
}

# Calculate Effective Hours Gained
effective_hours_multiplier = sum(
    pct * (mult - 1) / mult 
    for pct, mult in zip(task_breakdown.values(), multipliers.values())
)

# Example: 
# Tier 1 (25%): 25% * 3.5/4.5 = 19.4% capacity gain
# Tier 2 (30%): 30% * 2.0/3.0 = 20.0% capacity gain
# Tier 3 (25%): 25% * 0.5/1.5 = 8.3% capacity gain
# Non-AI (20%): 20% * 0.0/1.0 = 0% capacity gain
# Total: 47.7% capacity gain

hours_gained_per_week = avg_hours_per_week * effective_hours_multiplier * employee_count
annual_value = hours_gained_per_week * 52 * hourly_cost

# For 100 employees at $75/hr: ~$900K annual value from ~48% capacity gain

Key Advantages:

  1. More accurate than "eliminate 60-90% of work"
  2. Accounts for task heterogeneity
  3. Customizable to company's actual task mix
  4. Explains why gains vary by role/industry
  5. Sets realistic expectations (40-60% vs 60-90%)

ROI Messaging Examples​

For Customer Service:

  • Current: "Eliminate 70% of repetitive tickets"
  • Better: "Handle 3x ticket volume with same team - 4.5x productivity on tier-1 inquiries"

For Business Operations:

  • Current: "Eliminate 60% of report creation time"
  • Better: "Generate weekly reports in 10 minutes instead of 2 hours - 12x faster with same quality"

For Content Teams:

  • Current: "Eliminate 80% of writing time"
  • Better: "Produce 3x more content per writer - from research to first draft in 1/3 the time"

Part 9: Risks & Mitigation Strategies​

Risk 1: Over-Promising Based on Study Data​

Risk:

  • Study shows 90% completion on generic tasks
  • Customer assumes 90% completion on their specific tasks
  • Reality: 70% completion on enterprise-specific edge cases
  • Result: Disappointed customers, churn

Mitigation:

  • Clear messaging: "90% on standard tasks, 70-80% on company-specific"
  • Pilot programs to validate ROI in customer environment
  • Underpromise, overdeliver strategy
  • Focus on absolute time savings, not just completion %

Risk 2: Wage Correlation Mismatch​

Study Finding:

  • Weak correlation (r=0.13) between AI applicability and wage
  • Challenges assumption that high-wage = high AI impact

Risk for CODITECT:

  • Selling to enterprises based on "high-value worker productivity"
  • Reality: High-applicability roles span wage spectrum
  • May be targeting wrong buyer personas

Mitigation:

  • Reframe from "high-wage" to "high-volume information work"
  • Emphasize scale (customer service, admin support) over elite roles
  • Dual positioning: both efficiency (low-wage, high-volume) and leverage (high-wage, strategic)

Risk 3: Consumer Product Bias in Study​

Study Limitation:

  • Bing Copilot = consumer product
  • Enterprise H.P.006-WORKFLOWS more complex
  • Integration requirements not captured

Risk for CODITECT:

  • Extrapolating consumer success to enterprise
  • Underestimating enterprise deployment challenges
  • Overestimating out-of-box applicability

Mitigation:

  • Conduct own enterprise usage study
  • Publish case studies with enterprise-specific metrics
  • Build "bridge" narrative: consumer shows potential, enterprise realizes it
  • Invest heavily in integration and workflow orchestration

Risk 4: Automation Anxiety​

Study Context:

  • Distinguishes augmentation vs automation
  • Shows AI assists more than replaces

Risk for CODITECT:

  • "Eliminate 60-90% of work" messaging creates fear
  • Workers resist tools that threaten jobs
  • Adoption blockers at worker level

Mitigation:

  • Shift messaging to "amplify" not "eliminate"
  • Emphasize the 2:1 AI action to user goal ratio (AI does support work)
  • Frame as "eliminate boring, keep interesting"
  • Case studies showing workers upskilled, not laid off

  • Better to dominate information work than fail at physical work

Part 11: Sales Enablement​

Evidence-Based Sales Pitch​

Hook (Problem): "Your knowledge workers spend 60-70% of their time on information-heavy tasks - customer communication, documentation, research. These are the exact tasks where AI excels."

Proof (Credibility): "Microsoft Research analyzed 200,000 real AI conversations and found 85-92% success rates on the specific tasks your team does every day: responding to inquiries, explaining policies, creating documents, gathering information."

Solution (CODITECT): "We've built an enterprise platform focused exclusively on these proven high-ROI activities. Not experimental AI for everything - targeted automation for information work where it demonstrably works."

Value (ROI): "Our customers see 3-5x productivity gains on information-intensive tasks, achieving 20x ROI in 20 days. One customer service team now handles 4x ticket volume with the same team size."

Risk Mitigation (Trust): "We start with pilots on the highest-success tasks backed by this research. Quick wins first, expansion next. No big-bang deployments, no overpromising."

Objection Handling Scripts​

Objection: "We tried ChatGPT and it didn't work for our H.P.006-WORKFLOWS"

Response: "Generic consumer AI tools are trained on public internet knowledge. They can't handle your company-specific processes, terminology, or compliance requirements. CODITECT integrates with your knowledge base, systems, and H.P.006-WORKFLOWS - that's the difference between 60% success and 90% success on enterprise tasks.

The Microsoft study used consumer Copilot data - we've taken those proven capabilities and added the enterprise layer: your data, your processes, your governance."

Objection: "AI will eliminate jobs, our workforce will resist"

Response: "The Microsoft study actually shows AI assists more than it automates - it performs an average of 2 support activities for every user task. Workers stay in control of decisions, AI handles the 2-3 tedious steps behind each decision.

Our messaging isn't 'eliminate your team' - it's 'multiply your team's impact.' Same people, 3x output. That means your team can finally tackle the backlog, improve service quality, or take on strategic projects they never had time for."

Objection: "How do we know we'll get the ROI?"

Response: "Three validation layers:

  1. Proven capabilities - 85-92% completion rates on tasks like yours (backed by 200k conversations)
  2. Pilot results - We start with 20-day pilot on highest-ROI tasks to prove value in your environment
  3. Usage tracking - Our analytics dashboard measures actual time savings and task completion, so you see real productivity gains

If the pilot doesn't show measurable ROI, we don't expand. Our success is tied to yours."

Part 12: Product Marketing Collateral​

One-Pager: "The Science of AI at Work"​

Against Generic AI (ChatGPT, Claude): "Consumer AI tools show 60-70% success on generic tasks. CODITECT adds enterprise context - your knowledge, your processes - to achieve 85-92% success on your specific H.P.006-WORKFLOWS."

Against RPA Vendors: "Traditional RPA clicks buttons. Modern AI understands language. The Microsoft study shows 90%+ completion on information work - that's text, not clicks. We automate what your workers actually do."

Against Microsoft 365 Copilot / Google Workspace AI: "Built-in AI tools provide generic assistance. We focus on repetitive H.P.006-WORKFLOWS where AI excels (85-92% success) and orchestrate them end-to-end. It's the difference between a writing assistant and a document factory."

Part 14: Research & Development Priorities​

CODITECT's Own Usage Study​

Why Needed:

  • Validate study findings in enterprise context
  • Show improved performance with enterprise features
  • Generate proprietary data for marketing

Methodology:

  1. Instrument CODITECT platform for detailed usage tracking
  2. Classify conversations by O*NET IWAs (same as study)
  3. Measure completion, scope, user satisfaction
  4. Compare enterprise results to consumer study baselines

Expected Findings:

  • Higher completion rates (85% → 92%) due to enterprise context
  • Broader scope (moderate 65% → 75%) due to company knowledge
  • Different task distribution (more company-specific IWAs)

Publication Strategy:

  • White paper: "Enterprise AI Performance: Beyond Consumer Capabilities"
  • Conference presentations at HR Tech, AI conferences
  • Media coverage: "New study shows enterprise AI outperforms consumer tools"
  • Sales tool: "Here's why we're better than ChatGPT for your H.P.006-WORKFLOWS"

Fine-Tuning Priorities Based on Study​

High-Priority Training:

  1. Customer inquiry response (90-92% → 95%+)

    • Fine-tune on industry-specific inquiry types
    • Specialize in tone/style requirements
    • Handle edge cases better

  2. Policy and procedure explanation (89% → 94%+)

    • Company-specific terminology
    • Regulatory compliance language
    • Multi-stakeholder contexts

  3. Document generation (86% → 92%+)

    • Template adherence
    • Brand voice consistency
    • Format requirements

Low-Priority (Don't Waste Resources):

  • Visual design (40% baseline - won't reach 80% soon)
  • Mathematical analysis (60% baseline - accuracy too risky)
  • Creative ideation (55% baseline - human strength)

Part 15: Financial Model Implications​

Updated Revenue Projections​

Based on Study's Market Sizing:

Tier 1 Market (85-92% success tasks):

  • Customer Service: 2.9M workers × $50K avg salary × 0.20 capture rate = $29B TAM
  • Sales: 13.3M workers × $65K avg salary × 0.15 capture rate = $130B TAM
  • Office/Admin: 18.2M workers × $45K avg salary × 0.10 capture rate = $82B TAM
  • Total Tier 1: $241B TAM

Pricing Assumption:

  • $200/user/month for full automation capabilities
  • $100/user/month for augmentation features
  • 70/30 mix (automation/augmentation)
  • Effective ARPU: $170/user/month

Realistic CODITECT Capture:

  • Year 1: 10,000 users ($20M ARR)
  • Year 3: 100,000 users ($204M ARR)
  • Year 5: 500,000 users ($1.02B ARR)

Key Assumption Validated by Study:

  • High-applicability market is large (75M+ information workers)
  • Success rates support premium pricing ($200/user/mo)
  • Broad applicability enables cross-sell/upsell

Part 16: Key Takeaways for Leadership​

Strategic Recommendations Summary​

1. REFINE MESSAGING (Critical Priority)

  • ❌ Eliminate "eliminate 60-90% of repetitive work"
  • ✅ Adopt "3-5x productivity gains on information-intensive tasks"
  • ❌ Stop implying full automation
  • ✅ Start emphasizing augmentation + selective automation

2. FOCUS PRODUCT (High Priority)

  • ✅ Double down on 127 high-success IWAs (85-92% completion)
  • ✅ Build orchestration layer for enterprise H.P.006-WORKFLOWS
  • ❌ Avoid low-success tasks (visual design, math analysis)
  • ✅ Prioritize customer inquiries, documentation, knowledge work

3. TARGET PRECISELY (High Priority)

  • ✅ Primary: Customer service, sales, business ops (proven ROI)
  • ✅ Secondary: Content, professional services (strong ROI)
  • ❌ Avoid: Manufacturing, healthcare support, construction (poor fit)

4. VALIDATE WITH DATA (Medium Priority)

  • ✅ Conduct own enterprise usage study
  • ✅ Publish comparisons to Microsoft findings
  • ✅ Generate proprietary data for sales/marketing

5. DIFFERENTIATE CLEARLY (Medium Priority)

  • ✅ "Consumer AI shows potential, enterprise AI delivers it"
  • ✅ Position against generic tools with context advantage
  • ✅ Emphasize orchestration, not just conversation

Questions for Leadership Discussion​

Go-to-Market:

  1. Do we rebrand from "work elimination" to "work amplification"?
  2. Which of Tier 1 markets do we enter first?
  3. How aggressively do we reference the Microsoft study in sales?

Product:

  1. Do we narrow focus to only 85%+ success tasks?
  2. What's investment priority: new capabilities vs enterprise features?
  3. Should we build our own usage tracking for validation?

Competitive:

  1. How do we position against Microsoft 365 Copilot specifically?
  2. Do we partner with or compete against RPA vendors?
  3. What's our moat if everyone cites this same study?

Financial:

  1. Does Tier 1 TAM ($241B) justify our valuation targets?
  2. Should pricing differ for automation vs augmentation?
  3. What's realistic capture rate in Year 1?
