AI Agent Fit Scorecard
AI agent fit scorecard
An AI agent fits when a task is variable, needs reasoning, uses unstructured inputs, and spans multiple tools. If the steps are fixed and the data is structured, rules-based automation (RPA or scripts) is cheaper and more predictable. Rate your task below for a 0–100 fit score and a verdict.

The scorecard weighs six signals. Variability (20%) and judgment (20%) carry the most weight — they're what a language model handles and a rule can't. Unstructured inputs (15%), multi-tool span (15%), and volume (15%) capture where an agent earns its keep, while error tolerance (15%) checks that occasional agent mistakes are survivable. A high score points to an agent; a low score means a deterministic rule is the safer, cheaper build.
