Many start with dashboards, pipelines, and plans. They rebuild what’s broken and expect trust to follow.

𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀

I've had the same conversation with 3 different CFOs this month.

They all said some version of this: 

"My finance team just ran their own margin analysis. Without the data team. In 30 seconds."

🔁 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮. 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹.

"𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲" becomes a standard function and the data < >finance wall collapses.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀:

The era of descriptive dashboards is ending. AI agents are forcing the shift to diagnostic analytics.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: "Revenue was $2.3M in May"

𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰: "Revenue spiked because Product X drove 47% of new bookings, but COGS increased 23% due to supplier changes"

One tells you the score. The other tells you how to change the game.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴:

→ DataGOL launches a "𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁" that confirms account ranges with CFOs before calculating margins (human-in-the-loop, not black box)

→ Finance teams moving from "what happened" to "why it happened" without writing SQL

→ The "golden layer" (clean, standardized data) becoming the moat not the dashboard itself

𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲:

• 𝗕𝗜 𝗱𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 → AI-driven diagnostic layers

• 𝗔𝗱-𝗵𝗼𝗰 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 → Conversational agents

• 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 → Real-time variance investigation

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲.

→ It'll be your diagnostic intelligence layer.

→ The teams that own this conversation will have a seat at the board table.

→ The ones still building dashboards that answer "𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁" will keep wondering why no one looks at them.

Are you still answering "𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱" while your board wants to know "𝘄𝗵𝘆"?.

• Creativity becomes scarce advantage when output is frictionless.

• Human expertise gets pricier when AI sounds confident about everything.

• And if AI smooths away the messy debate, you lose the work trails that keep teams aligned.

If your org gets judged on measurable value in 2026…

Ever wonder why it's SO HARD to stick with something new? The answer is simpler than you think! 😊

Visuals by @Pejman Milani

Look at willpower like a candle - it starts strong but eventually burns out. We've all been there... super excited on day 1, kinda tired by day 3, and completely giving up by day 7! 🕯️
But habits? They're like an endless energy source! ⚡
The science is clear:

Willpower runs out (just like your phone battery)
Habits run on autopilot (like breathing!)
Small daily actions > big one-time efforts

What's ONE tiny habit you could start today? Maybe drinking a glass of water when you wake up? Or spending 5 minutes reading before bed?

Remember: Consistency beats intensity! Build those habit flames and watch them power your success! 🚀

Ever wonder why some leaders effortlessly inspire while others struggle despite the fancy title?

Visuals from @Pejman Milani

I've distilled my leadership journey into 11 visual frameworks that changed my approach. (#10 was my personal game-changer!)

Three Core Leadership Principles:
✅ Today's hard choices create tomorrow's success
✅ Authority comes from action, not position
✅ Clear thinking creates clear direction

𝗠𝘆 𝟭𝟭 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗱:
1️⃣ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿
Leadership is earned daily through consistent actions that build trust, not handed out with business cards.
2️⃣ 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘃𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿
Put thoughts on paper and watch how quickly the gaps appear! Clear documentation transforms good thinking into great execution.
3️⃣ 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴
Great teams aren't born—they're methodically built through consistent effort.
4️⃣ 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲
Transform failures into frameworks for future success through systematic learning.
5️⃣ 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲
The courage to make difficult choices today prevents bigger crises tomorrow.
6️⃣ 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
Action is the antidote to anxiety. Start before you feel ready—momentum creates clarity.
7️⃣ 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺
Yesterday's perfect solution needs today's fresh perspective.
8️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀
Progress rarely follows a neat path. Small, sustainable steps consistently taken beat sporadic giant leaps.
9️⃣ 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘁
Today's effort prevents tomorrow's pain. Disciplined processes create freedom, not restriction.
🔟 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
Focus beats fragmentation. Choosing what to ignore is as strategic as choosing what to pursue.
1️⃣1️⃣ 𝗔 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆
Vision without action is just daydreaming. Your example speaks louder than any mission statement.

Which framework resonates most with your current challenges? I'd love to hear which one hits closest to home!

𝟭𝟬 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

We are done playing with AI.

In 2026, AI agents enter work. Quiet. Deep. For real. 

I see 10 big shifts coming for enterprise and mid-market teams.

Here is my view:

1️⃣ 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸
Not chatbots.
They read, write, click, move data, trigger flows.
They act in tools you use now.
Your team starts to manage agents, not chats.

2️⃣ 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀
No more “cool demo” with no owner.
CFO asks one question:
→ Where is ROI in 90 days?
If you show value, you scale.
If not, budget dies. Fast.

3️⃣ 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆
Agents fail if data is messy.
You need data that is:
→ Easy to find
→ Clean and linked
→ Safe for wide access
I call this “business-ready data”.

4️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿
You do not want 15 data tools.
You want one brain.
One place for:
→ Pipelines
→ Store
→ Metrics
AI-native platforms win here.

5️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄
Engineers write less raw code.
Agents draft flows and tests.
Your best people:
→ Set clear specs
→ Review diffs
→ Guard quality at scale

6️⃣ 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹
Regulators wake up.
You must show:
→ Who touched what data
→ How AI made each call
→ Why output is safe
No proof, no trust.

7️⃣ 𝗔𝗜 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀
Per seat makes no sense when agents do work.
Expect:
→ Pay per outcome
→ Pay per use
→ Mix of both for large deals

8️⃣ 𝗠𝗶𝗱-𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱
Less tech debt.
Faster change.
Strong AI-native tools mean a small firm with clear data beats a slow giant with old stacks. 🚀

9️⃣ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘃𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀
Home-grown AI infra looks cool.
Cost, talent, and risk say no.
You still build use cases.
You buy the boring layers.

🔟 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁
Big press drops fade.
Real edge comes from:
→ One agent that cuts 30% cycle time
→ One workflow with clean, shared data
No noise. Only impact.

I spend my days at @DataGOL on one question:
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜 “𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀-𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆” 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀?

What part of this future feels closest to your world right now?

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘂𝗽, 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗢𝗦 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁!

AI is making execution simple, which means good judgment is your new superpower.
Stop competing on speed and start building an 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝗠 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺.

I will be writing the detailed series over the following week.

My 5-part series is your blueprint for this shift:
𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁: Your new moat is not in features, it's in turning chaos into clear decisions and defining high-integrity constraints.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗-𝗔-𝗘 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: Use the Delegate, Amplify, Elevate model. Give all the repeatable tasks to AI and focus human energy on irreversible decisions.

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 & 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Get better at interpreting data (Signal) and naming the real problem (Sensemaking). Always look for "𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲."

𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆: When you build AI, you are shipping a system, not just a feature. Govern it with a clear Decision Contract.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗠𝗼𝗮𝘁: Your value is defined by four things: providing Clarity, making Evaluation the new UX, designing for Trust, and running the Machine-Human system.

The winners won’t be the ones who “move fast.”
They’ll be the ones who decide well—𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀.

𝗜𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱… 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲?

📉 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀.


You optimized your pipelines, warehouses, and data stack.
You invested in Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, and orchestration tools.
You assumed that would make AI work in real business workflows.

𝗜𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁.

Because AI doesn’t fail from lack of data. It fails from lack of context.

𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿, 𝘄𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵:

• Why “data access” ≠ “operational understanding”
• How missing context erodes trustand destroys adoption
• What it really takes to move from dashboards to autonomous agents that explain, verify, and act
• Why current stacks optimize for storage and compute—not decision quality

🚫 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.
✅ Start embedding business context into the foundation of your data systems.

If your AI can’t reason through a workflow like your top analyst, then all you’ve built is a very expensive tool.

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday. If you missed the session, or are based in Europe, we will be hosting it again next week for our European partners.

Most AI projects do not fail because the models are weak.
They fail because the teams are focusing on infrastructure plumbing and get stuck with optimizing the infra. 

In our recent DataGOL webinar, we broke down a pattern we keep seeing:
Teams invest heavily in pipelines, warehouses, and data stack optimization.
Then they expect AI to reason, explain, and act inside real workflows.

It cannot.
So trust erodes.
Answers get discarded.
Momentum stalls.

We covered:

How missing business context destroys trust in AI outputs

The difference between “data access” and “operational understanding”

What it actually takes to move from dashboards to agents that can explain, verify, and take action

Why Snowflake/Databricks-style stacks optimize storage and compute, but not decision quality

The shift is simple to describe, but hard to execute:
Stop building more AI infrastructure.

Start building a #ConextOS that understands the business.

You add “AI on top” of a broken stack.

I see this again and again when I talk with B2B founders and operators.

- The story is always the same.
- The product helps clients save time.
- The team still drowns in manual work.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺, 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀:
• Call transcripts land in the CRM
• Team members read each call
• They pull out fund mandate, stage, check size
• They paste data into fields, one by one
• Boards in Asana do not move unless someone drags cards.
• Research for each investor runs “one by one by one” because bulk tools hallucinate.

𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿.
- The service scales.
- The engine does not.
- The answer for him was not a “new all-in-one platform.”
- He needed one intelligent system between all his tools.
That is where we brought in @DataGOL as "AI Native Intelligence & Execution Platform"

Here is how we implemented it:

→ 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿
- Transcripts go in.
- AI pulls structured fields with a shared language.
- Data flows back into the CRM without a human hand.

→ 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿
- CRM actions trigger status changes.
- Project tools move on their own.
- No one drags cards all day.

→ 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲
• Multi-agent AI runs deep research in bulk.
• Scores and ranks targets.
• Shows sources so you can trust the results.

→ 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
- Once the middleware works well, you replace old tools
- One by one
- With less risk and clear ROI proof.

Fast ROI comes from one AI Native layer that makes your whole stack work like one product.

𝟭𝟬𝗠 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀. 𝟴𝘅 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴.
We looked at a “successful” gaming platform: 10M active free-to-play users, super sticky… and still stuck at ~8x exit.

I saw this in a gaming client at @DataGOL
- Free-to-play.
- Very sticky.
- Exit stuck at 8x.

𝗪𝗵𝘆?
User data looked nice on a slide.
Inside, they had HTML + vibes.
- No real events.
- No cohorts.
- No path from “player” to “payer”.

𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗗𝗔𝗨, 𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴.

The truth is:
- You don’t scale from 8x to 20x with more features.
- You scale with a better brain.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁, 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 + 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁.
- One lake for all data.
- One “virtual CRM” on top.
- One clean stream of events from product and ads.
Then I stop saying “users”.
I see segments, with clear intent.

- Every campaign message flows into the same brain.
- Every deposit and payment links back to a touch.
- I can ask “what creates LTV?” and get a clear view.
Most tools stop here.
They show reports, not answers.

- Small Python agents watch each player.
- They look at recency, frequency, and value.
- They trigger one next action, not ten.
Email, offer, KYC nudge, in-game push.
Personal, fast, cheap.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁:
- Lower cost to reactivate.
- Less waste in marketing.
- More users move to deposit, subscribe, or compete.

Teams say “we have a monetization issue”.
I see an intelligence gap.

There's a role emerging in AI-native companies that doesn't have a name yet.
It's the "Judgment PM".

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:
𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗠 = Discovery → prioritization → requirements → delivery → iterate
𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗠 = Turns ambiguity into irreversible decisions that machines can't make

Ship faster. Write more PRDs. Run more sprints.
That era is over.
In an AI-native world, execution speed is no longer scarce.
Judgment is. Context is. Trust is.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄, most product teams are responding the wrong way.
More gates. More committees. More process.
That's not a strategy. That's organizational scar tissue.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗠 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆:
✓ 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 — turns chaos into a sharp decision: "We're doing X, not Y, because Z"
✓ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — treats eval as a first-class product capability ("Evaluation is the new UX")
✓ 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 — ships explanations, confidence scores, and undo/rollback as core features

✓ Your operating model must increase the surface area of what can be validated.
✓ The PMs who figure this out will own the decisions that matter.
✓ The ones who don't will keep writing PRDs that machines could generate in 30 seconds.

Comment if you're already making this shift?

DataGOL = 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿 + 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺

I've had the same conversation with 5 different performance marketing teams this Month.

They all said some version of:
"𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝗖M𝗢 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵. 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺."
This isn't a data quality problem. It's a trust problem.
And it's driving a shift from "𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸-𝗕𝗼𝘅 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀" to what I'm calling "𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀".

Here's the difference:
𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸-𝗕𝗼𝘅 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 = Dashboards you can't trace. Numbers you can't validate. Feature requests for every custom query.
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 = Full visibility into SQL structure. Complete data lineage. Slice data any way you need, instantly.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗔𝗖 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝟮𝟬%.
- You pull the dashboard. The number's there.
- But you can't explain how it was calculated. You can't trace it back to the source.
You're defending a number you don't fully understand.

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:
→ Accept the black box (and the trust gap)
→ Build custom solutions (and burn budget on data engineers instead of User Acquisition )
We built DataGOL "Data Science Agent" to eliminate that trade-off.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄:
✓ 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗤𝗟 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆—trace any metric to source in seconds
✓ 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀—no feature requests
✓ 𝗔𝗜-𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 (imagine Looker with ChatGPT built in) - AI and agent capabilities directly into the workflow
✓ 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - to understand nuanced user behaviour

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁? Budget that used to fund data validation now goes directly into user acquisition.

The teams that figure this out will outspend competitors where it matters.

Are you still working with black-box tools? Or have you made the shift to trust-first?

Leadership thinks the infrastructure is in place.
Employees say it isn't even close.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴.
81% of the C-suite believe a clear AI policy exists in their organization.
Only 28% of employees agree.

This isn't a communication problem. It's a feedback loop failure.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀.

Meanwhile, PWC data shows 56% of CEOs report no significant financial return from AI.
But 12%—the "Vanguard"—are seeing simultaneous cost and revenue gains.
The difference? They're 2.6x more likely to have embedded AI into core processes, not peripheral tasks.

𝗠𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
- The AI winners of 2026 won't have better models.
- They'll have closed the 53-point gap between what the boardroom believes and what the frontline experiences.
- The technology is not the bottleneck.
- The misalignment is.

The next analytics battleground isn't AI vs. no-AI.
It's transparent AI vs. blackbox AI.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜'𝗺 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵:

→ BI tools for dashboards (rigid, predefined models)
→ Custom data teams for flexibility (expensive)


𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵:
→ Decision Traces, ContextOS, Reasoning, and data infrastructure in one layer
→ Custom cohort analysis without engineering tickets
→ SQL visible behind every insight
Tools like @DataGOL are leaning into this, their positioning is essentially
"BI 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜."

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁:
→ Performance teams are done choosing between speed and trust.
→ They want to ask natural-language questions and see the query logic.
→ They want AI-generated insights and the ability to check its homework.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘄:
✓ Can you cohort by custom events, not just default metrics?
✓ Can you see the underlying SQL structure?
✓ Can you trust insights without a data team translating?

The teams that solve this will move faster and spend less on internal data infrastructure.
The ones that don't will keep paying the "talent tax" just to get answers they're not sure they believe.

Are you already seeing this convergence in your stack? Or are AI and transparency still living in separate tools?

#DataScience #Transparency #DataAnalytics #TrustInAI #DataGOL

I’m a Senior Product Designer and Design Engineer with over five years of experience building human-centered SaaS products from the ground up — from research and design to development and launch.
My work bridges creativity and technology, combining deep UX thinking with hands-on implementation using Figma, React, Next.js, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.

Throughout my career, I’ve led projects through every stage — from user research and wireframing to polished design systems and live product launches.
At Trafficlab, I redesigned website flows based on A/B testing insights, reducing misdirected customer queries by 25% and increasing engagement with previously neglected pages by 15%.
At NabuMinds, I led the design of an AI-powered CRM platform, developing a scalable design system that improved visual consistency, optimized design–developer collaboration, and accelerated feature delivery.
These experiences reflect not only my ability to design engaging, intuitive interfaces but also my focus on aligning design decisions with business outcomes.

In 2022, I began deepening my engineering skills — focusing on React, JavaScript, Next.js, and TypeScript — to better understand implementation challenges and bridge the gap between design and development.
This experience taught me how to design and build scalable component libraries, ensure design system responsiveness, and maintain visual consistency across complex SaaS ecosystems.
It also allowed me to collaborate more effectively with developers and take a more holistic view of the entire product lifecycle.

My focus today lies in creating clear, thoughtful products that balance usability, aesthetics, and performance. I care about how things look as much as how they work — ensuring that every design decision supports both user needs and business goals.
I believe that the most effective designers are those who understand the intersection of design, frontend development, and business, enabling them to craft digital experiences that are both functional and impactful.

As the Founder of Donno.io, a movie discovery and community platform, I continue exploring how design and technology can connect people through shared experiences.

If you’re like me, born without any specific talent, but you like art, you are a very empathetic person and like problem solving, but at the same time are attracted by the structure and logic of engineering, don’t feel pressured to choose between design or development. Do both.

When a few years ago I was posting about a gap between design and engineering which is continously narrowing down (back then I was timidly just starting to touch frontend), I still didn’t believe that soon I will be hired by an amazing network security startup Nexufend GmbH as a 𝗨𝗫/𝗨𝗜 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿 & 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿.
