# The Leadership Literacy Floor

*You cannot sponsor AI you have never handled.*

**When to use:** Before backing AI work you have not seen done.

Today's tools, not the ones you saw last year ↑

Ideal

You use the tools yourself, regularly, on your own real work - judgement built by repetition.

Floor

You have watched a capable person push them hard on work you recognise, and seen the impressive result and the confident mistake in one sitting.

> **Not an adoption strategy:** Your own fluency lets you see the other constraints clearly. It does not fix them.
