The SaaSpocalypse isn't just a market story. These exercises help you apply the same dynamics — repricing, rebuilding, negotiating — to your own role, workflows, and vendor relationships.
Individual Exercises — Your Role, Your Workflows:
Enterprise Plays — Your Vendors, Your Stack:
Tools: Claude (Opus or Sonnet), ChatGPT (GPT-4o or o3), Gemini Pro. These all work across tools — pick the one you're comfortable with.
Job: Map your role against AI disruption and find where your value is actually shifting — not where you hope it is.
When to use: When you want to understand how the SaaSpocalypse dynamics apply to YOUR career, not just to stock tickers. Especially useful before performance reviews, career pivots, or when you feel the ground shifting under your feet.
What you'll get: A personal repricing map showing which parts of your role are commoditizing, which are irreplaceable, and a 90-day strategy for shifting your time toward what actually matters.

What's a "wringable neck"? Enterprises pay SaaS vendors partly for accountability — someone to call at 2 AM when things break. Your wringable neck is the part of your role where human judgment, trust, and accountability are the actual product.
Output feeds into: Exercise 2 (Workflow Rebuild Lab) — once you know which parts of your role to protect and amplify, you can rebuild specific workflows around that insight.
