AI and technology insights
You have a question and not much time. This library of AI and technology insights holds long research, short field notes, dated briefings and free tools. Each shows how it was made and where its facts come from, and none asks for an email address.

How to use this library
What does a finding rest on?
Every piece starts with a question leaders usually answer from opinion. Our conclusions rest on what we have seen in delivery work, on public documents we opened and read, and on published data charted from a stored copy. Nothing else goes in.
Our engagements are all under NDA, so delivery experience shows up as a pattern and never as a case, and no client is named. That is a narrower base than a survey, and each piece says so. The pieces explain why a problem happens and how it shows up, and they leave the counting to sources that can support it.
How does a claim earn its place in our insights?
- 01
We open a source before we cite it.
We read the passage of the law, standard or study that a claim relies on. The link sits in the text where the claim is made, and again in the sources section.
- 02
A person checks every claim.
Before anything goes out, a person reads the piece, checks each fact against its source and decides what stays. That person's name is on it.
- 03
The limits are written down.
Each piece says what it cannot show. A chart appears only when a cited primary source supplies the figures, along with the date they describe.
- 04
It goes out in the open.
It is published under a person's name, as a page and, for reports and white papers, as a PDF. A briefing shows the date it was current and the source under each fact.
| Piece | Read it when | Look first at | Then |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research report | You need to know why a problem keeps happening | The in-brief, then the method and limits | Run its self-check on your own organization |
| White paper | A decision is in front of you and each option needs an argument | The question it sets and the criteria it offers | Take the criteria into your own review |
| Field Report perspective | You want to recognize a problem quickly | The mechanism, not the example | Test it on your own team, then read the report behind it |
| Market briefing | A rule or a market has moved | The as-of date and the source under each fact | Read the primary source before you act; it outranks our summary |
| Tool or resource | You want a first read on where you stand, or a working template | The scoring rules or the version and date | Treat a result as the start of a conversation, and adapt a template to your case |
If we can't say where a claim comes from, it isn't in the piece.
What do readers ask before they start reading?
Which kind of piece should I read first?
Match the piece to your question. Read a report to learn why a problem keeps happening, a white paper when a decision is waiting, a Field Report piece to recognize a problem fast, and a briefing when a rule has moved.
What does the Field Report email contain, and do I need it?
You don't need it. The email is optional and carries one short piece like those on the site, nothing more. Every report is free to read without it, and none of the research, tools or downloads asks for an email address.
What does the research rest on, given that you name no clients?
Delivery experience, public documents read for the provisions we cite, and published data charted from a stored copy. Engagements are under NDA, so experience appears as a pattern and not a case. A claim with no source is left out.
What if my question is not covered by anything published here?
We can commission the research for you. Describe the decision in front of you, through the research service or in a conversation, and we agree the scope in writing before any work starts. Everything already published stays free to read in the meantime.
The Field Report
Short pieces on AI and technology problems that keep coming back.
Each one follows a problem to its cause, from a handover nobody scheduled to a buyer an assistant never mentioned.
Resources
Free tools and templates you can use today.
The Field Report, by email.
Optional. Each issue is one short piece like the ones above. Everything on this site stays free to read without it.
Which question should the research answer for you?
If nothing here covers the decision on your desk, tell us what you need to know and who needs to hear it. A senior person reads it and replies with a way to scope the research.
