Judgment for consequential AI decisions.

Short pieces, each grounded in something we counted.

Microsoft moved

What changes for new Copilot Business licenses through CSP, what a Copilot Credit costs, and the four settings to decide first.

Frontier Firm

Microsoft named the Frontier Firm. Here is how to score your organization against it, from Microsoft's own reports.

Copilot licenses

Find the Copilot seats that are paid and waiting, using Microsoft’s own usage report — and put them to work.

AI value

Count finished work, time returned and the causal part — with a control group, never a survey average.

Monday Edge

A free plugin for Copilot Cowork: what Microsoft moved, the roadmap ahead, and a customer version to pass on.

AI economics

Licenses, consumption, labor, quality and adoption sit in five systems. Nobody reads all five.

Agentic enterprise

Architecture is half the system. Ownership, evaluation and escalation make it durable.

Microsoft AI

Training matters. Workflow design, instrumentation and a repeatable proof cycle matter more.
