Remove any factor and the product collapses. Cognitive Fit is the term most enterprises forget to measure — and the one most likely to be zero.

01

Tool Capability

What the AI can technically do.

02

Workflow Fit

Whether AI is embedded into real work instead of added as an extra step.

03

Cognitive Fit

Whether the AI interaction matches how users think, trust, decide, and handle ambiguity.

04

Governance Clarity

Whether people know when AI can assist, when humans must decide, and how decisions are documented.

Foundations

Built on cognitive science and human–AI interaction research.

Cognitive science

Decision-making, trust calibration, ambiguity tolerance, and cognitive load research applied to enterprise AI use.

Human–AI interaction

Patterns of how people actually work with probabilistic systems — including over-trust and under-trust dynamics.

Enterprise adoption

Real-world rollout patterns from organizations adopting Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, Gemini, Claude, and internal AI.
