Sample report · Human Infrastructure Diagnostic

Halvard Group is ready on paper. Its human infrastructure is not, yet.

This is what a Mirmara report looks like, from the executive brief to the 18-month roadmap. Halvard Group is fictional and all data is illustrative, but each chapter follows the structure of a real report. Hover, click and test each exhibit.

00 What you are looking at
Every organisation runs AI on human infrastructure. Few can see it. This report makes it visible and open to discussion.

A Mirmara diagnostic answers one question: where do our people really stand on AI, and what should be done first? The chapters below follow the structure of the report.

01 Executive Decision Brief

Skills are not what holds Halvard back. Trust and clarity are.

In January, Halvard provided AI assistants to 400 of its 540 employees. Licence usage has since plateaued, and a company-wide training programme is under consideration. Before committing that budget, Halvard commissioned this diagnostic to establish what is limiting adoption.

  1. 01

    Reported use is well above what licence logs show.

    Licence logs show 34% of seats active, yet 61% of respondents report using AI weekly, and 23% use tools Halvard has not approved. Actual use is higher than the organisation can currently observe.

  2. 02

    AI knowledge is concentrated in a few people and one link.

    – of AI-advice ties point to three colleagues, and one person is the only link between Engineering and the rest of the organisation. The leadership team receives –.

  3. 03

    Skills are the main barrier for only 17% of respondents.

    Fear of judgement (31%), unclear purpose (24%) and fairness concerns (19%) are each cited more often. The planned training targets the fourth-ranked barrier.

The decision this report changes

Halvard is considering €180,000 for company-wide AI training. This is what respondents identify as their main barrier.

Training addresses a knowledge gap. Where the barrier is fear of judgement, unclear purpose or perceived unfairness, training alone is unlikely to change usage. Mirmara therefore diagnoses before budget is allocated.

Skills (highlighted) is the barrier training is designed to address. Single-choice question: the main reason respondents use AI less than they could.
02 Infrastructure Scorecard & Heatmap

Five layers. One picture of how your people experience AI.

Human infrastructure is the relationships, emotions, beliefs, behaviours and values through which a workforce adopts AI and integrates it sustainably into everyday work. Mirmara scores it on five layers, using a 30-item questionnaire, combines them into the Human Infrastructure Index, and locates each layer in the organisation’s system. Select a layer on the chart or the tabs to see what sits behind its score.

Halvard todayTarget band 65–75
System Triangle

Each score also has a location in the system.

Mirmara reads culture as a system, following Daimler’s reculturing model (2022). An organisation stays coherent when Purpose, Strategy and Culture are connected, and Culture itself is made up of Values, Process and Practice. AI is an external load on the system that can pull two of these elements apart, and each layer reads one such seam. The score shows how large the gap is; the location shows where to act. Select a seam, or hover a corner for its definition.

03 SNA Influence Map

The org chart shows who reports to whom. Not who people turn to.

AI adoption spreads through relationships. Policy alone rarely changes behaviour; people tend to start when someone they trust shows them how. Social Network Analysis maps these informal paths: people are the dots, and “whom do you ask about AI?” are the lines.

This is how Halvard is drawn.

Five executives, six managers and 56 team members. Following this chart, an AI rollout would start at the top: announce through leadership, cascade through managers.

Each line connects a person to a colleague they turn to for help with AI. Larger, brighter dots are asked more often. Note how the leadership team recedes.

Choose a starting point to run the simulation.

Illustrative diffusion model on this sample network: each week, a person adopts with a probability that rises with the number of colleagues they ask who already use AI. It shows a mechanism, not a forecast. Averages are over 300 runs each.

Without SNA

  • Communicate through the formal hierarchy
  • Give every team the same support
  • Discover key-person dependency when someone leaves
  • Leave isolated expertise unused

With a Mirmara SNA map

  • Start change with the people colleagues already trust
  • Direct support to where knowledge stalls
  • Protect the few people carrying the load
  • Reconnect isolated expertise before it is lost
Find the leverage

Go where influence already is.

Involve informal influencers in workshops and focus groups. Their endorsement is likely to carry more weight than an announcement.

Mend the structure

Build a second bridge.

One person linking two groups is a single point of failure. The map shows where a structural hole needs a second connection.

Protect people

Notice who is carrying the load.

The colleagues everyone asks rarely have this in their job description. Identifying them early can reduce the risk of burnout and attrition.

The map is a stylised view of 67 nodes. In a real report it is built from consenting participants, presented in aggregate and anonymised; individuals are never identified to the client.

04 System Gap Map

Where the system has come apart, and which gaps matter most.

A gap is a point where what the organisation states and what people experience have diverged. Each gap is plotted by its severity in the data and by its leverage, meaning how much of the AI investment depends on closing it. Bubble size shows the share of the workforce affected.

04b Strengths to build on

A diagnostic is not only a risk report. It finds what already works.

Strength 1 · Understanding

The cognitive layer is Halvard’s strongest (70).

Employees understand what AI can and cannot do, so general training is likely to add the least value here.

Strength 2 · A reference practice

Engineering & Product leads on four of five layers.

It shows what stronger human infrastructure looks like inside Halvard. Its norms are worth studying and adapting, not copying, since Operations works under different conditions.

Strength 3 · Leader as influencer

In Sales, the manager is also a network hub.

Formal and informal influence coincide. This is the clearest internal example of leader-led adoption.

05 Infrastructure Roadmap

From findings to commitments, in the right order.

Every action names the gap it closes and an owner. Sequence matters: later horizons are unlikely to succeed before earlier ones are in place. Filter by gap to see how each is addressed.

Filter by gap
Then measure again. A pulse re-diagnostic at 6–12 months re-measures the weakest layers (here Values and Behavioural) and repeats the network map, to establish whether the changes have taken effect.
06 How the diagnostic works

Three instruments, five weeks, and no individual results.

The methods complement each other: the questionnaire provides breadth, interviews depth, and Social Network Analysis the relational layer. Together they ask not only what people do with AI, but why.

Limitations a real report states openly
  • A 76% response rate means roughly a quarter of employees are not represented. Non-response is analysed by function rather than assumed to be neutral.
  • Self-reported behaviour may understate use where psychological safety is low; interviews and network data partly mitigate this.
  • A network map is a snapshot in time. Nearby reorganisations or launches are noted in the report.
  • Findings describe associations at one point in time and do not establish causation.

07 Why it pays

The costly error is to fund the remedy before the diagnosis.

Whether AI delivers value depends heavily on people and process, which are also the areas where leaders have the least visibility. Independent research points in the same direction.

70%

BCG’s 10-20-70 framework attributes about 70% of AI value to people and process, 20% to technology and data, and 10% to algorithms.

BCG, 2026 · source
4% → 13%

Leaders estimated that about 4% of employees use generative AI for at least 30% of their work. Employees reported about 13%.

If you are making the case internally

Three sentences for the budget conversation.

  • What you receive: Infrastructure Scorecard, Infrastructure Heatmap, System Gap Map, SNA Influence Map and an Executive Decision Brief.
  • How long: five weeks, with about 20 minutes asked of each participant (questionnaire plus network survey).
  • Independence: Mirmara does not sell interventions, so the diagnosis has no incentive to favour a particular service.
  1. We are about to commit budget to AI licences and training without knowing which barrier we are addressing.
  2. A five-week diagnostic can establish whether the main barrier is skills, trust, clarity or fairness, and who can help resolve it, before the budget is committed.
  3. It is independent and anonymous, which allows employees to say what they may not say internally.
