# Map Score

> This skill should be used when the user types '/map-score', asks to 'score my AI opportunities', 'rank the gaps', 'prioritize the mapping results', or wants to score and rank AI mapping opportunities. Run this after using the map skill.

# AI Mapping — Opportunity Scorer

Score and rank AI mapping opportunities that were previously identified.

## Step 1: Find Existing Maps

Search the working directory for any `AI-MAP-*.md` files generated by the map skill. If none exist, tell the user to run `/map` first.

Read all found map files to collect the identified opportunities.

## Step 2: Score Each Opportunity

For each opportunity, evaluate on three dimensions:

### Revenue Impact (1-5)
- 1: Minor efficiency gain, no revenue impact
- 2: Small time savings, indirect revenue effect
- 3: Moderate revenue increase or cost reduction ($100-500/mo)
- 4: Significant revenue increase ($500-2000/mo) or major cost elimination
- 5: Transformative revenue potential ($2000+/mo) or entirely new revenue stream

### Capital Reduction (1-5)
- 1: No effect on capital needs
- 2: Slight reduction in tool/service costs
- 3: Eliminates need for one contractor or paid service
- 4: Eliminates need for a hire or major investment
- 5: Fundamentally changes capital structure (self-funding becomes possible)

### Ease of Implementation (1-5)
- 1: Requires new infrastructure, skills, or significant development
- 2: Requires moderate setup and configuration
- 3: Can be done in a few hours with existing tools
- 4: Can be done in under an hour with existing tools
- 5: Can be activated immediately — infrastructure already exists

### Composite Score
Formula: **(Revenue Impact x 2) + Capital Reduction + Ease of Implementation**
Maximum: 20 points

## Step 3: Generate Ranked Output

Create a table sorted by composite score:

| Rank | Opportunity | Venture | Revenue | Capital | Ease | Score | Status |
|------|------------|---------|---------|---------|------|-------|--------|

Then for the Top 5, provide:
- **What to do** (2-3 sentences)
- **First concrete step** (the very next action)
- **Expected timeline** to first results
- **The paper says**: Connect to a relevant finding from Kim, Kim & Koning (2026)

## Step 4: The "Activate Now" List

Identify any opportunities scoring 15+ that can be activated TODAY (Ease = 5). These are the "infrastructure exists, nobody pressed send" situations — the mapping problem in its purest form.

Present these separately with a clear call to action.

## Step 5: Update the HTML Heat Map (if it exists)

If a corresponding `AI-MAP-[date].html` file exists in the working directory, update it to reflect the new prioritization:

1. Read the existing HTML file
2. Add or update the **★ opportunity star markers** in the heat map cells based on the new top-10 scoring (any cell whose venture × function appears in the top 10 should have a star)
3. Replace the `Top 10 Opportunities` section content with the freshly scored ranked list
4. Replace the `Press-Send Opportunities` section with the latest "Activate Now" list (Score ≥ 15 and Ease = 5)
5. Save the file

The HTML and MD files should always stay in sync. If the user runs `/map` then later `/map-score`, both files should reflect the latest scoring.

If no HTML file exists, generate one using the template at `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ai-mapping-audit/templates/heat-map-template.html` (see /map skill Step 6 for the format).

After updating, tell the user:
> Updated **AI-MAP-[date].html** with the new prioritization. Open it in your browser to see the visual heat map with ★ markers on your top opportunities.

## Key Principle

> "Revenue and investment gains are largest at the 90th percentile and above." — Kim, Kim & Koning (2026)

Remind the user: Don't spread thin. Pick the top 3 opportunities and execute deeply rather than attempting all of them at once.
