Held back
AI is taking the routine work. Your people can do far more, if your organization lets them.
HEIdex measures how much of your workforce's capacity your environment actually puts to work and names the single first move that would release more. Frame Advisory's own AI, trained on our method, turns the result into guidance your leaders can act on. The score itself is never set by AI.
AI makes output cheap. It cannot make judgment, trust or will.
Output is getting cheap
Drafting, analysis and routine decisions are increasingly done by machines. Producing more of them is no longer the advantage.
The scarce part is human
Judgment, trust and the will to act still come from people. They decide whether AI creates value or just creates volume.
Much of it is held back
Most organizations pay for more human capacity than they use. Not because people lack it, but because the environment does not release it.
Measure the environment, not the people.
Your people bring an equity base: what leadership, culture, values, growth and technology let them build. Then the environment decides how much of it gets used. That is activation, and it multiplies everything.
HEI = equity base × activation

Score. Act. Re-score.
Leaders score independently
Each leader rates what is true today, privately. No meeting, no consensus-building first.
One score, one constraint, one move
A deterministic HEI, its band, the binding constraint and a single first move.
Do the first move
One concrete action aimed at the constraint, owned by named leaders for the quarter.
Watch the line move
The same leaders score again. The new snapshot sits beside the old one, so progress is visible.
One number, one constraint, one move.
- The Human Equity Index™: one deterministic score from 0 to 100, in one of four bands.
- Your binding constraint: the one dimension holding the score down.
- One first move, aimed at that constraint. A score never arrives without it.
- Unrealized Human Equity: the capacity you already pay for, in people.
Every AI decision is now a people decision.
AI rollouts are redeployments
When automation frees hours, someone decides where those hours go. HEIdex shows whether your environment can redeploy people, or will lose them.
Boards are asking
Leaders are being asked what AI means for their people. A single, repeatable number gives a straight answer that can be tracked.
Talent is already paid for
Releasing capacity you already have is faster and cheaper than hiring for it. The first move points to where to start.
