Where are you on the Activation Curve™?

Five minutes. About fifteen questions about how you actually work with AI, not how anyone thinks you should. When you finish, you will see your own placement on the Activation Curve. It is not a judgment, only a reflection of how you work with AI today.

The Pulse reads two things: what you do with AI, and how you feel about it. Put together, they give your posture, which is the one result to take away.

This is the individual preview. Nothing you enter here is stored or sent anywhere; the result is computed in your browser and disappears when you close the page.

When the Activation Pulse runs inside an organization, it is confidential and results are reported only for groups of five or more, never for individuals.

The Activation Pulse™ reads two things from your answers: what you do with AI, and how you feel about it. Put together, they give your posture, which is the one result to take away.

What you do

Your posture

How much of your AI spend is generating results?

A license dashboard can tell you who logged in and how often.

It cannot tell you what that use has done for your organization.

The Activation Pulse can, in five minutes per person.

The goal

An organization does not need everyone's AI use to be at its highest or most sophisticated level. Each job is unique and so is its best AI usage profile. The initial goal is to turn the time and skill already in the organization into a return you can see.

Ask Coreflection how to optimize your organization's AI use.

Here is a leader's view of a team's Activation Pulse readout.

Use AI beyond quick answers

from what people reported

29%

What it means. Your adoption number is overstated, and most of your spend is on people who ask a question and move on.

Safety

1 in 5

What it means. Shadow use. Nearly one in five use AI beyond quick answers and are not yet open about it, so you have strength in your Builders (18 percent) that you cannot see or leverage.

Posture mix

Amplifying (you)

11%

They use AI beyond quick answers and they are open about it.

Building (you)

18%

They use AI beyond quick answers and are not yet fully open about it.

Discovering (you)

24%

They are early in their use of AI and they want more of it.

Discerning (you)

40%

They are early in their use of AI and are weighing its value.

Preparing (you)

Something outside their control, such as access, permission or time, is in the way.

What it means. Each posture requires a different approach, so the mix shows you where specific activities will pay off, instead of investing in one broadcast training event that barely moves the needle.

Time

1 to 3 hours

saved each week, the most common answer among people who save time

46%

say the time gets absorbed and cannot say where it goes

What it means. Time is being saved and then lost. Across one team that is hundreds of hours a week the organization could redirect.

Clarity

22%

know what they are allowed to use AI for

What it means. People do not know what they are allowed to do, and that is the easiest element to fix.

Go-to people

14 people

were named by two or more colleagues as the first person they ask about AI.

What it means. You already have in-house experts, because your people are already going to them with their AI questions.
