INNOVATION — What happens when a new tool makes more questions worth asking? Faster answers can create a different workload, with value and costs that the old demand never revealed.
An AI data assistant could make a familiar report easier to obtain. It could also make a follow-up question practical for someone who previously would have left it unexplored. The tool can change which work people consider worth starting.
Some of the new demand may have been too costly to express before.
A higher question count needs interpretation. New requests could help people examine assumptions before committing effort, or produce answers that nobody uses. Their value depends on what becomes possible after the answer, alongside the effort needed to provide it.
What became possible because asking became easier?
The benefit may be a better decision that was never previously attempted.
