What we do

Clearer ways of working, not more tools

For teams already paying for copilots and agents who want clearer ways of working, not more tools. You keep your stack; we strengthen how people and AI share the work.

Read more: signs it’s time

Signs it’s time to look at how people and AI share the work

  • Your people spend more than about a fifth of their time checking AI output.
  • Nobody can say who is accountable when AI output turns out to be wrong.
  • Work is redone because it is unclear who leads and who reviews.
  • You pay for copilots or agents but cannot show what you get back.

For AI assistants and agents and, where relevant, robots working alongside people. See the research behind our approach.

How it works

Three steps on one workstream

  1. Step 1: Intro conversation

    You tell us about one workstream where people and AI already share the work.

  2. Step 2: Audit on that workstream

    We map who leads, what AI contributes, where a person steps in or overrides, and where cost and rework build up.

  3. Step 3: Playbook and metrics

    You receive a written integration playbook for that workstream, plus metrics to track.

Read more: what you get

You get

  • A written integration playbook for your one workstream: who starts, what AI may draft, where people review, and when to halt or override.
  • Metrics to track: override rate, rework, trust and escalation.
  • A map of how the work actually flows, and where cost, rework and risk build up.

What we need from you and the terms are under Terms.

Two more readings, and what each one gives you

  • 2-minute team check2 min

    How openly does your team talk about mistakes and ask for help? Five statements, about 2 minutes. You get a short taste (band + a line or two); the full reading is the Score Report.

  • Deeper taste: are we ready?8 min

    15 questions on people and AI, about 8 minutes. Afterward you see a short taste only (band + a line or two). The full score and plan are in the Score Report. Answers from the short check carry over.

  • What does friction cost us?3 min

    Calculator: estimate the cost of silos and turnover — and what you could reclaim. About 3 minutes.

  • Leadership style quiz4 min

    About 4 minutes. Your leadership style shapes who reviews, overrides, and owns outcomes in a workstream — the Audit turns that into roles and review points.

Method, research and terms

The method

Workstream
one recurring piece of work where people and AI already share tasks, for example answering customer emails or drafting weekly reports.
Playbook
a short written guide your team follows: who starts, what AI may draft, where a person reviews, and when to stop or override.
Override rate
how often a person has to change or reject what the AI produced.
Escalation
how often a case has to be passed to someone with more authority.

What each side brings

01

Human intuition

Empathy, ethics, creative problem-solving, and calm judgment when the path is unclear.

02

AI scale

Fast pattern recognition and quick summaries of large amounts of information.

= Work where each side does what it does best

Research worth reading

Research that reviewed 106 experiments found that people and AI working together did, on average, worse than the better of the two working alone — with losses in decision tasks and gains in content-creation tasks. That is why we start with roles and review points, not with more tools.

Who is behind Sumnetics

Wilfried de Wever· founder

Wilfried helps teams make AI useful without losing clear ownership of outcomes. Sumnetics grew from seeing copilots and agents adopted faster than roles and review points were agreed.

The practice is part of Humanity Solutions (KvK 71110178), trading as Foresight-Transitions, in The Hague. Sumnetics is the methods face for this work. The free SumOfUs check on this site is a short team reading — not a separate company.
