Confidence
How much the person trusts their own ability to use technology.
In the 8MAP, the Digital fluency dimension measures how ready each person is to work with digital and AI tools: how much they trust their own ability, how willing they are to bring AI into their work, and how they describe what they actually do with it. It rests on DigComp, the European digital competence framework.
What it measures
How much the person trusts their own ability to use technology.
How willing they are to bring AI into their work.
How they use tools day to day, told in their own words.
How to read the result
Higher is better
Higher is better. When it drops, it tends to drag performance and capacity down with it.
Why it matters
Confidence in your own ability with technology predicts how much and how you use a tool. That is why buying software is not enough: if the team does not feel capable, they do not adopt it.
It turns that framework into a short assessment for companies, and adds an analysis of the language each person uses to describe their work with tools and AI.
Because a closed scale does not capture the nuance of how someone uses AI at work. An open description shows whether they use it to write, to analyse data, or not at all.

Frequently asked questions
They are the abilities to use digital and AI tools in daily tasks: finding information, creating content, communicating and solving problems. DigComp organises them into five areas.
By asking each person how capable they feel, how willing they are and how they use AI today. The 8MAP combines all three.
It is the European Commission's digital competence framework.
