IT services and AI: five roles, three verdicts.
A services firm sells human delivery hours. The reAImagination platform took five delivery roles apart to the sub-task, priced them and routed every hour. Two roles dissolve, two are redesigned, one expands. The pyramid does not simply shrink; it inverts.
OCF · ASBC · 4B routing · Inclusion by ArchitectureEvery hour of the role, priced and routed.
Pick a role, then switch between today and reimagined. Each dot is one hour in every hundred the role spends.

Where the hours go across the delivery pyramid.
Bars show share of hours. The figure on the right is the cost-weighted share routed to Bot or Buy. Hours freed are time, not cash.
The pyramid trap
The dissolving roles are the entry rungs where a firm's engineers have always begun. The expanding role needs exactly the judgement those rungs used to cultivate. Cut the base to bank the saving, and the firm cannot grow the apex it now depends on to sell.
The move is a pivot, not a cut: stop selling human delivery hours, start selling the engineering of AI delivery.
