What stands in the way, in each

Accountants and Auditors: the dominant friction is that it runs on knowledge of the organisation that a model cannot hold. Capability sits at 0.83 of 1 and friction at 0.42 of 1.

Fundraisers: the dominant friction is that it runs on knowledge of the organisation that a model cannot hold. Capability sits at 0.72 of 1 and friction at 0.38 of 1.

Capability asks whether a generally available system can produce the work product at all. Friction asks what stops it finishing the job: physical work, being present, being accountable, unseen context, or the cost of checking the output. The rubric is here.
