Reality Check

Before you commit budget or time, you need to know what the sales pitch leaves out. These articles cover the real costs, the security gaps, and the technical limitations that surface only after you've signed.

Methodology

If your team is going to use AI, they need a process that holds up under pressure. Not tips and tricks — a disciplined approach to orchestration, validation, and accountability that survives contact with production.

Three ways to work with AI-generated code — and why your mix matters Voice to structured meeting documentation: how core-claude-skills turns recordings into actionable data Voice reflection to structured goals: how the goals skill turns thinking into documents that compound Why developer accountability cannot be automated

Production

Most AI demos never ship. If you're investing in AI-enhanced development, you need to know the difference between impressive prototypes and systems that actually run in production with real users.
