team archetypes · 8 types

Eight team types.One is yours.

Based on your team's collective AI levels and thinking style mix, your team maps to one of 8 archetypes — each with distinct strengths, blind spots, and a clear growth path.

01 — THE EIGHT ARCHETYPES

What kind of team are you?

Each archetype describes a real pattern in how teams use AI collectively — not just individuals.

The Explorers

Curious, energetic, figuring it out together

01

Your team is in the exciting early phase of AI adoption — building habits, testing tools, and discovering what works. The curiosity here is contagious.

The Visionaries

Big ideas, boundless imagination

02

This team generates ideas faster than most can execute them. You see AI as a canvas, not just a tool — and that unlocks creative applications others miss.

The Validators

Nothing ships unverified

03

Rigorous, evidence-driven, and allergic to hype. This team keeps AI outputs honest — every result gets questioned, tested, and pressure-checked before it's trusted.

The Connectors

People-first, team-powered

04

This team uses AI as a collaboration amplifier. You think about how AI changes how people work together, not just individual productivity — and that's a strategic advantage.

The Builders

Workflows first, results always

05

Methodical, process-driven, and focused on measurable outcomes. This team treats AI as infrastructure — something to be built right, documented, and scaled.

The Innovation Lab

Vision meets execution at scale

06

Rare combination: this team can both imagine new possibilities and build systems to realise them. You have the creative range to spot opportunities and the operational depth to ship.

The Execution Engine

Ruthlessly efficient, reliably fast

07

Highly experienced, systematically-minded operators. This team doesn't explore — it deploys. You've seen enough AI tools to know what works, and you build accordingly.

The Full-Stack Team

Balanced thinking, complete coverage

08

All four thinking styles represented — Dreamers, Skeptics, Optimizers, and Collaborators. This kind of cognitive diversity is rare and powerful.

02 — HOW IT WORKS

Two axes. One archetype.

Your team's archetype is determined by combining your average AI level with the dominant thinking style across your members.

Axis 1

Average Team Level

How deeply AI is embedded in your team's day-to-day work. Ranges from early exploration (Level 1–2) to autonomous systems (Level 5–6).

Axis 2

Dominant Thinking Style

Which of the four AI thinking styles has the highest representation in your team. A balanced mix unlocks the Full-Stack archetype.

Skeptic

ANALYTICAL

Critical thinkers and quality gatekeepers. They validate before they ship.

Dreamer

IMAGINATIVE

Imaginative and possibility-focused. They see AI as a canvas.

Optimizer

PRAGMATIC

Systems-first and efficiency-driven. They look for the 10x improvement.

Collaborator

RELATIONAL

People-first and consensus builders. They bring the whole team along.
