Role Replacement Explorer

Interactive model

Role Replacement Explorer

Open a role to see responsibilities, current replacement, expected burden reduction, and capability dependencies. This is an explanatory model, not a product data source.

These are honest maturity states, not measured percentages.

The only receipt-grounded role baseline today is the SDLC Orchestrator at under 25% (see CURRENT_STATE). A role shows a percentage only when receipts support it; every other role reports a qualitative maturity state, not a number.

SDLC Orchestrator - < 25% current replacement, target 90%+
