Every system has incentives. Most are accidental. The formal incentives are visible: quotas, bonuses, promotions. But the real incentives — the ones that shape behavior — are often invisible.
We asked an AI to analyze common business models and identify the hidden incentive structures. The results were uncomfortable.
A subscription model incentivizes reducing churn, not maximizing value. A per-seat license incentivizes adding users, not making the tool better. A success fee incentivizes closing deals, not ensuring fit.
None of these are wrong. But they're rarely discussed. AI can help surface the incentives you forgot to design.
