Twenty-four atoms. One hundred and forty-five bonds. The chain only holds when the bonds do.
Most AI rollouts treat themselves as a list of activities. Senior coaching done. Training delivered. Tools rolled out. The map below treats it as a chain of atoms instead, held together by bonds that either carry weight or don't. Seven links along the spine: a map of the dependencies between adoption and value capture, not a fixed order. Every link is only as strong as the audience it actually reaches, and the chain holds where its weakest link sits.
Business outcome → baseline → owner → selected workflows → capacity captured
This map covers adoption and the changes needed to capture value in the existing business. New products and revenue are a separate kind of work, shown in the Value Map. Name the business outcome first, and name the decision-makers and owners; then inspect the workflow and role changes needed to achieve it, and the dependencies that might prevent them.
Hover any atom to see the bonds it sits inside. Click any atom to pin it. The inspector below the chart shows what it is, what it connects to, and the notes that didn't fit the spine. Hover any bond to see its source and type.
