IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT · FIRST PROJECTS PUBLISH AUGUST 2026

AI LAB

WHERE THE METHODOLOGY GETS TESTED.

This is not a software portfolio or an engineering showcase. It is an environment for capability development and evidence-based innovation — small, working systems built to test whether the methodology in the Business Library still holds when a machine executes it.

Everything here gets published as it is built — including the parts that don't work.

HOW I GOT HERE

My own use of AI moved through four phases. Each one increased the complexity of what AI was trusted to help build — not just what it was asked to produce.

PHASE 01

Personal productivity

Drafting and rewriting. Useful, but the thinking was still entirely mine.

PHASE 02

Decision support

Contract and document review, where the value was in what I might have missed.

PHASE 03

Knowledge synthesis

Structuring fifteen years of engagements into frameworks that hold up under executive scrutiny.

PHASE 04 · NOW

Capability building

Building working systems — where the constraint stops being execution and becomes thinking.

WHAT'S COMING

Three projects, each built against a problem I have actually managed — not a demo. Each will ship with the code, an honest write-up of what worked, and what it still gets wrong.

Churn-Risk Signal Extractor

IN BUILD

The problem: health scores tell you an account is declining after it has already declined. The signals that actually matter are buried in meeting notes and support threads that nobody has time to re-read.

What it does: takes raw customer notes and returns a risk assessment with the specific evidence behind it — sponsor changes, adoption stalls, unanswered dependencies — scored against the Customer Success framework in the Business Library rather than a generic model.

Executive Business Review Generator

IN BUILD

The problem: most QBRs report activity to a customer who wanted evidence of outcomes. Preparing one properly takes hours that portfolio managers do not have, so the quality degrades exactly where the account is most at risk.

What it does: turns account data into an executive-ready review structured the way I ran them — business objective, what changed, evidence, decisions required — in the customer's language rather than the vendor's.

Operational Process Diagnostic

IN BUILD

The problem: most teams can describe what their process does but not why it produces the result it produces. Diagnosis is the expensive part, and it usually requires someone who has seen the pattern before.

What it does: takes a described process and returns the likely constraint, the questions worth asking next, and a prioritized intervention list — applying the Operational Excellence Cycle instead of generic best practice.

WHY THIS PAGE IS HONEST ABOUT BEING EARLY

I could have waited and published this page only once it was full. But the first principle in the Business Library is that there is always a better way — and the second is to use evidence, not opinions. Naming what I am building, with a date, is the evidence. What you see here in September will be the test of it.

THE THINKING BEHIND IT

These projects are not experiments in what AI can do. They are tests of whether fifteen years of operating methodology can be encoded well enough that a machine applies it usefully. The methodology itself lives in the Business Library.
