Founder Lessons

A product manager built a prototype engineering had to rewrite. It changed how I define a role: not by the artifact, but by the decision and outcome the person owns.

AI makes first drafts cheap. My experience managing junior and senior talent changed what I look for: not output, but whether feedback becomes judgment.

AI turned 50 tickets into 5,000. The real value is knowing what not to do.

AI can make every person faster while a company still takes weeks to decide. I think time to decision is the metric teams should start watching.

What two failed aha moments and our own search for a value metric taught me about pricing AI between raw usage and business outcomes.
