The implicit assumption that human and autonomous agents have certain capabilities is omnipresent in modern teaming concepts. However, none formalize these capabilities in a flexible and quantifiable way. In this paper, we propose Capability Deltas, which establish a quantifiable source to craft autonomous assistance systems in which one agent takes the leader and the other the supporter role. We deduct the quantification of human capabilities based on an established assessment and documentation procedure from occupational inclusion of people with disabilities. This allows us to quantify the delta, or gap, between a team's current capability and a requirement established by a work process. The concept is then extended to the multi-dimensional capability space, which then allows to formalize compensation behavior and assess required actions by the autonomous agent.
