Stuff I've written
- Turning conversational data into a north-star metric: classify contacts, score them cheaply, move them in the messenger.
- The achievable band for AI/ML-driven CRM, the four platform shapes, the lifecycle of one message, and the order to build it in, anchored to the published results.
- Generating copy is easy; choosing the best variant quickly is the hard part. The five-stage pipeline, and the one loop you never close.
- Every career trades craft for leverage, but the curve has a valley in the middle where the first-line manager stands. A map of the two winning ends, the two currencies of leverage, and why AI is re-pricing the curve toward building.
