The Ascension Path
From doing everything yourself to architecting systems that run themselves. Five phases. One transformation.
Every SOP you write follows this path. You start as the operator, and gradually hand off execution to AI - not all at once, but step by step, with verification at every stage.
The Five Phases
Each phase shifts the balance between human effort and AI capability.

Phase 1You do everything
Observer
Phase 2You watch AI watch you
