Where AI actually pays.

Not every AI bet earns the same. Ops-side work compresses cost; advisor / revenue-side work expands the top line — and the market prices those two very differently. Every sub-capability is classified cost-out, revenue-up, or hybrid, and ranked by a payoff index that blends hiring heat, funding flow, and AI leadership.
