About THE DAILY BRIEF
Twice-weekly deep dives into enterprise AI, backed by 30+ years of building software at scale.

Enterprise AI PractitionerThis newsletter started as a personal tool. I was tracking AI developments—models, deployments, benchmarks, security frameworks—and keeping notes for my own reference. Then friends started asking for weekly summaries. What began as emails to 42 people grew organically through referrals into what you’re reading today.
I’ve spent over three decades building software at scale. That experience shapes how I evaluate every AI tool, framework, and vendor claim that crosses my desk. I’m not interested in hype cycles. I’m interested in what works.
I’m not doing this alone. A small group of trusted friends—fellow practitioners and industry insiders—help surface the most important stories, pressure-test analysis, and keep the quality bar high. They help find the best articles and contribute to getting them published. It’s a collaborative effort behind the scenes.
What We Cover
Every issue is built around what enterprise leaders actually need to make decisions—not what generates clicks.
Real Benchmarks
Actual performance data, not marketing numbers. When I compare models, I run the benchmarks myself.
Cost Analysis
Total cost of ownership for AI implementations, including the hidden costs vendors don’t mention.
Production Lessons
What happens when AI hits real-world workloads. Deployment stories from the trenches.
Vendor Comparisons
Unbiased, side-by-side evaluations. No sponsorships, no affiliate deals, no conflicts of interest.
How I Work
I test everything I write about. When comparing models, I run my own benchmarks. When evaluating tools, I deploy them in production environments. I consult with peers across functions—CIOs, CFOs, sales leaders, operations directors, engineering heads—while maintaining strict confidentiality.
The result is analysis you can trust because it’s grounded in real experience, not press releases.
On Using AI
I use AI tools for research, drafting, and synthesis— it’s how I maintain a twice-weekly publication schedule while keeping depth and rigor.
But the ideas, perspectives, analysis, and conclusions are mine. AI is a research assistant. It doesn’t make editorial decisions.
Who This Is For
Business leaders in engineering, sales, finance, operations, legal, and marketing who need actionable AI insights without the marketing hype. If you’re making decisions about AI adoption at your organization, this newsletter was built for you.
