03 / FIELD NOTES
Short notes on AI, operations, and making technology useful. A notebook, always open to revision.
AI / 01
A useful starting point for applied AI: define the task before choosing the tool. What decision needs to be made? What context is missing? What does a good result look like?
Agents become interesting when they can operate inside a clear boundary, use the right context, and hand a decision back to a person when it matters.
TEAMS / 02
Speed is only one part of a good operating model. Teams also need to understand when to trust an output, when to question it, and who owns the next decision.
That makes AI adoption a question of work design as much as technology. The handoffs deserve as much attention as the model.
OPERATIONS / 03
Before adding another dashboard or model, look at the quality of the information already moving through the operation.
A consistent definition, a reliable handoff, and a useful decision cadence can change more than another layer of complexity.
