Demand → Talent Index
A practical operating model for translating demand into talent decisions.
StableUpdated 2026-02-081 min read
What this section delivers
Demand → Talent Index (DTI) answers one operational question:
Do we have sufficient talent readiness to meet expected demand within a given time horizon?
DTI is not a forecast.
DTI is a decision support model.
The DTI flow (conceptual)
Time horizons (always explicit)
| Horizon | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Immediate (days–1 week) | Ad hoc delivery |
| Short-term (1–8 weeks) | Pipeline execution |
| Chronic (always-on) | Portfolio decisions |
Capabilities used in this model
All demand and readiness is expressed using capabilities, not job titles:
- AI
- Data
- Integrations
- QA
- Back-end
- Front-end
- Cloud Infrastructure
- UI / UX
