Dainese's year, replayed at three maturity levels.
Three side-by-side replays of the same year. Compare per-role outputs, cycle time, addressable workload, SaaS spend, and cost per output across Today → AI-Adopted → Agent Operator.
Org-level comparison
Today
How the year actually runs today.
Manual cycle time, SaaS sprawl, every output hand-built.
AI-Adopted
Same year, with Claresia Skills + Coworks deployed.
Humans in charge, software helping. SaaS rationalised.
Agent Operator
Same year, with humans orchestrating agents end-to-end.
You sign off on exceptions, agents execute the rest.
Win rate is a sales-only KPI; see the AE card below for that metric. Headcount is held constant on purpose — the trilogy doesn't sell layoffs, it sells reclaimed hours + higher leverage per role.
Outputs per role per week
Real outputs (deals / PRDs / campaigns / forecasts / PR reviews), not raw event counts.
Minutes per output
How long a single deal / PRD / campaign / forecast / PR takes per role at each level.

The same task replayed three times, so you can read across the row.
aeAccount research, MEDDPICC scoring, quote PDFs, follow-up emails — all by hand.
Sailford skills auto-research the account; Boss drafts the MEDDPICC, the email cadence, and the quote.
Boss agents run the outbound + qualification motion end-to-end; the AE signs off on the deals worth a human touch.
pmHand-rolled PRDs in Notion, ad-hoc roadmap rewrites, manual user-research synthesis.
Steve coworks draft the PRD; ticket grooming runs against the live PRD; user-research synthesis lifts from interview transcripts automatically.
Steve agents drive the discovery loop, draft the decision packet, and route stakeholder review; PM signs off on launch.
marketing_mgrHand-written briefs, manual UTM tagging, copy-paste into HubSpot, ad-hoc reporting decks.
Sailford signal store powers ICP segmentation; Boss agents draft creative variants; Forge runs the brief authoring.
Boss agents launch + optimise the campaign; the marketing manager owns the strategy + brand and approves at the gate.
fpaHand-built Excel models, monthly close fire-drills, manual variance commentary.
Ledger coworks wire the close, draft variance commentary, and surface anomalies on the live model.
Ledger agents run weekly forecast refreshes + commentary drafts; FP&A sets the policy and approves the deltas.
eng_leadHand-pulled PR diffs, ad-hoc design-doc reviews, on-call reactive triage, hand-rolled release notes.
Gatespic skills surface the high-risk PRs first; Steve drafts release notes; design docs go through an automated reviewer pass.
Gatespic agents triage on-call + run the PR-merge gate; the eng lead approves architecture decisions and unblocks people.
rd_engineerHand-built EN 1621-2 verification packs, manual impact-test commentary, sequential firmware QA on D-air units.
Research agents draft cert packs, summarize bench data, cross-check against ECE-22.06 / FIM standards before review.
Cert agents own the recurring verification loop; engineers run physical bench tests + final cert sign-off only.
industrial_designerHand-drawn pattern revisions, manual material-callout updates, ad-hoc retail visual reviews across packaging + windows + catalogs.
Creative agents iterate on tech-pack variants, apply brand-guidelines QA, draft retail visual packs for review.
Creative agents run the tech-pack + retail-visual + packaging pipeline end-to-end; designer makes the final aesthetic call.
retail_store_mgrHand-built labour schedules, manual P&L reviews from 3 spreadsheets, ad-hoc coaching prep for each associate.
Boss workflows compile P&L summaries, draft labour schedules across shifts, surface coaching points by associate.
Operating agents run scheduling + variance commentary + coaching prompts; manager owns associate development + community.
retail_associateManual fit-session logging, paper-based after-sales handoffs, hand-tallied loyalty signups, end-of-shift till close from memory.
Mobile assistant logs the fit session, drafts the after-sales handoff, captures the loyalty signup as the customer leaves.
Boss + Takecare agents handle warranty pickup + D-air service intake + custom-fit follow-ups; associate stays hands-on with customers.
ecommerce_opsManual PDP authoring, hand-built UTM grids, ad-hoc paid-media reallocations, A/B test results pulled from 4 dashboards.
Boss readies the catalog drop, paid-media test cells, A/B test winners; lead reviews + approves.
Autonomous merchandising + lifecycle agents run D2C end-to-end; lead steers strategy + brand voice.
supply_chain_plannerHand-built demand plans across Italy + Romania + Tunisia + Vietnam, manual PO drafting in SAP, vendor RFP follow-ups by email.
Zottos drafts the multi-site demand plan, surfaces vendor RFP variance, flags capacity gaps for review.
Zottos agents run the recurring demand refresh + RFP follow-ups + PO drafting; planner makes strategic capacity calls.
manufacturing_engineerHand-drafted work orders, manual ECN paperwork, paper-based QC reports, line walks where every defect is logged twice.
Ops agents draft work orders + ECN proposals + QC inspection summaries; physical line walk + bench inspection still in person.
ECN + QC agents own the doc pipeline; engineers focus on physical inspection + line tuning across plants.
customer_service_repManual tier-1 ticket replies, hand-keyed warranty claims, ad-hoc D-air firmware update logs, escalations by email.
Takecare auto-resolves tier-1 tickets, drafts warranty claims, logs D-air firmware updates; rep handles exceptions.
Takecare agents own tier-1 + warranty + D-air service intake; rep stewards complex cases + dealer escalations.
