The Replacement Line

Draw a line. One end: Easily Replaced. Other end: Hard to Replace. Then call out tasks from your working week and see where they land. This simulation runs the Chapter 4 exercise digitally — enter your five most common tasks, AI assesses each one, and shows you where your week is currently sitting.

In Chapter 4 of 5M Unbreakable, the Replacement Line exercise is described like this:

"Draw a long line on the floor. One end is labelled Easily Replaced. The other end is Hard to Replace. Then call out tasks from a typical working week. People physically move to where they think the task sits on the line."

After ten or fifteen tasks, two questions: "Where do you spend most of your week?" And: "What would need to change in your craft, your outcomes, and your adjacencies so that more of your week moves to the hard-to-replace end?"

This digital version runs the exercise for your actual tasks. Enter five. AI assesses where each one sits on the line and tells you exactly where to invest your MOAT-building effort.

What do you actually spend most of your week doing?

Be specific. Not "strategy work" but what you actually do in the time — the specific task, the meeting, the deliverable. The more specific, the more useful the assessment.
