Field notes

Writing from inside the work.

Short observations on agents, operating systems, business design, and the changing shape of knowledge work.

AI changes the unit of work.

A useful system does more than produce text. It changes how information is gathered, how decisions are prepared, and where responsibility sits.

Procedures become a form of infrastructure.

The instruction, tool access, evidence rule, and escalation path together determine whether model capability becomes reliable operating capacity.

The organization is part of the technical system.

Roles, incentives, approval paths, and recovery behavior shape performance as much as the model and prompt.
