What this means

You are on pace with the market. A 5–15% Digital Labor Mix in 2026 reflects a company past the experimentation phase and into operational deployment. The next test is governance: every labor-substitution agent should have a displacement case, a supersession log, and a function ownership record. Without them, the mix grows but the audit trail does not.

The Digital Labor Mix and the companion ROSE metric were developed by Ben Murray of The SaaS CFO. We adapted them for enterprise workforce governance. Read the original: A CFO’s Guide to Tracking Digital Labor and Agentic AI.

02 · The Four Bands

Where you sit, in plain language.

The bands track the structural shift, not the market average. Most enterprises are still in the Early band in 2026. The companies on the right edge are not where the market is — they are where it is going.

Early · 0–5%

Where most enterprises are.

The structural shift is just beginning. Build the operating model now — chart of accounts, decision rights, FinOps observability — and you compound the advantage. Wait, and you answer board questions in restatements.

On Pace · 5–15%

Past experimentation, into deployment.

The next test is governance: every labor-substitution agent should have a displacement case, a supersession log, and a function ownership record. Without them, the mix grows but the audit trail does not.

Leading · 15–25%

Ahead of the median, reportable to the board.

Boards expect the metric quarterly at this point. The compound advantage is real, and so is the governance burden. The next question isn't whether to scale — it's whether your operating model can keep up.

Frontier · 25%+

Klarna-class deployment.

Structural advantage is significant. So is structural risk: classification errors, missing displacement cases, and ungoverned agent identity become existential. This is the state TeamOhana customers spend most of their time in.
