[04] THE FLIGHT RISK

FLIGHT RISK:85%HIGH RISK

[DIAGNOSIS]When the initial AI hype cycle wanes, the demonstrable ROI of 'prompt efficacy' will be questioned, revealing a lack of tangible output.

* The stark reality of the role, scraped from Reddit, Blind, and anonymous career boards.

"I seen cases when management invested ton of money into report load time being decreased from 5 minutes to 1 minute, despite fact that they will open that report once a week, and refused to pay for the workflow optimization for hundreds of people who loose collectively 50 hours every day."
