What is Human-Machine Teaming?
Human-Machine Teaming (HMT) is the operational model in which human judgment and AI system capability work together to produce decisions neither could achieve alone. In DoD doctrine, it is the core requirement of JADC2 and multi-domain operations — and the human half has never been measured.
What is a Cognitive Readiness Score™?
A Cognitive Readiness Score™ is a continuous, data-driven measure of an individual's capacity to think critically and make sound decisions in AI-assisted environments — the human-side equivalent of a physical fitness score, longitudinally tracked and operationally validated.
What is Automation Bias?
Automation bias is the tendency to over-rely on automated systems and accept their outputs without sufficient critical review. In AI-augmented environments, it is one of the most measurable and consequential cognitive risks to operational performance — and it cannot be solved by awareness training alone.
What is Human Cognitive Readiness™?
Human Cognitive Readiness™ is the measurable capacity of an individual or organization to think critically, reason clearly, and make sound decisions — particularly in high-stakes, AI-assisted environments. It integrates IQ, EI, and Wellness into a single unified framework.
What is the Human–AI Capability Gap?
The Human–AI Capability Gap is the measurable distance between what AI systems can do and what human cognitive capacity allows organizations to actually extract from them — the primary reason most AI investments underperform.
What is Generative AI Readiness for Organizations?
Generative AI Readiness is the organizational capability to deploy, govern, and extract sustained value from generative AI tools — measured not by technology adoption rate, but by the cognitive capacity of the workforce using those tools critically, safely, and effectively.
