SKILLBERG INTELLIGENCE · METHOD

The method behind the tool.
Every number says where it comes from.

How a job description becomes an impact profile: the task as the unit of measure, four qualifications per task, public research mapped onto your tasks, and a human check at every step that shapes the result.

Our wordsFour measuresDataStepsFramework
01 · Why it's complex

A skill never belongs
to a single job.

Acting on one task means touching several roles at once. Without a map, every decision is a guess.

Decidewhere to start?
Hirewhich profile tomorrow?
Trainwhich skill to learn?
Reskilltoward which neighboring job?
Budgethow many people, and when?

With all this complexity, how do you steer your shift to AI?

Our role: give you the visibility to steer — not decide for you.

ONE LINK, SEVERAL JOBSOne link brings together several jobs; one job spans several links. A shared task is tooled once and counts several times.
02 · Our words

AI doesn't take over jobs.
It takes over tasks.

The task is the unit of measure. The job is only a unit of aggregation, and the frameworks are the join key.

01 →

Job

The job title

Too broad to say anything about AI. A job is an average of tasks.

02 →

Task

The specific action

The level where we measure. This is where AI takes over, assists — or does nothing.

03

Skill

The know-how involved

What shifts when the task changes in nature: what will need to be learned, or passed on.

We say “most of this job's tasks are at H3,” never “this job is H3.”

03 · Four measures per task

Four measures per task.
The job is their weighted sum.

HH1 → H5

Agency

What AI can take on

Set by expert judgment, double-validated, linked to public measurements from Stanford and Anthropic.

DD1 → D5

Desirability

The will to hand it to AI

“AI can do it” and “it should be done” are two separate questions. The second is collected in your company.

collected in your company
MM1 → M5

Maturity

What needs to be put in place

From a tool already in place to established governance. A task can be H2 and M5: it will wait its turn.

V12 months

Velocity

Moving fast, or not

Stable, within the year, within a few months. An H3 is often a stage; an unstable H5, a point to watch.

Percentages: dominant level desired by workers, across 104 jobs — Stanford WORKBank (Shao et al., 2025), 844 tasks, 1,500 workers surveyed.

04 · Prioritize

Cross desire with capability,
then decide.

What AI can do doesn't tell you what should be done. The matrix places each task, then two settings refine the sequence.

Leveragea task shared by several jobs counts several times

How the criteria are weighted remains your decision: the tool makes it explicit, it doesn't set it.

05 · Data

Four categories of data.
We always tell you which one you're looking at.

01

Yours

Job descriptions, skills mapping, headcount by job.

Your words, your phrasing.

02

Research

Stanford WORKBank, Anthropic Economic Index, O*NET, ESCO, ROME, EU AI Act.

Public, dated, with its limits.

03

Enriched

The connections between your job descriptions and the frameworks; the job ↔ task ↔ skill links.

The Skillberg engine.

04

Qualified

Four qualifications per task, by expert judgment, double-validated.

You correct them in the tool.

No score travels naked.

A number without its confidence and coverage isn't a measure: it's an opinion.
H312 / 12 tasks· measured by researchH25 / 9 tasks· completed by Skillberg—0 / 4 tasks· not yet measured · to be collected
06 · Method

Four steps, three human checks,
one bridge to research.

The model pre-fills, a person decides. Every match and every qualification goes through human review before it enters the calculation.

01human check

Collect and normalize

Your job descriptions (PDF, Word) become tasks, skills and titles in a common format. Homonyms and duplicates flagged.

02human check

Match and enrich

The job, then each task and each skill, matched to the graph: automatic first, then human review, then a global cross-check.

03human check

Qualify

The four measures, task by task, double-validated. Each qualification carries its confidence level.

04computation

Synthesize

Roll up task → skill → job → chain. Produce the micro and macro views, and the decision tool.

The O*NET bridge

Each task gets its equivalent in the US framework, where Stanford and Anthropic took their measurements. That's what lets us map their measurements onto your tasks — with a confidence rate that is calculated, not declared.

07 · The framework

We start with people,
not with the regulation.

What it is — and isn't

Steering at the job levelAn independent diagnostic, and you make the callsAn individual ratingAn action plan sold in advance
AI ACT · ANNEX III · DEC. 2, 2027

Plan ahead at scoping

Hiring, assignment, promotion, evaluation: HR AI systems become high-risk. Our diagnostic is not an AI system; the tool you might build next could be, with you as the deployer.

Three reflexes

1Human oversight — entrusted to people with real authority
2Works council (CSE) informed and consulted — before any HR decision-support tool
3Internal communication — before any data collection from teams

It isn't the individual freedom to use AI that drives adoption: it's giving teams a voice in how collective work is organized.

08 · The engine

Scientists, not a prompt.

Beneath every engagement, our own infrastructure: a skills graph that mirrors ESCO, ROME, O*NET and five other frameworks. The same engine is open to your technical teams.

The team

A lab that goes out into the field.

AI and data science research, a PhD in progress, an HR perspective. We built our own graph, on our own data, because no decision about jobs should rest on a black box.
