Most "AI Agents" are just chatbots in a costume.
Gartner finds only 130 real agentic vendors out of thousands. Before you sign, ask:
1. Can it act, or just suggest?
2. Show me the failure mode.
The hype is free; the cleanup isn't.

60% of investors expect "AI Roll-ups" to beat traditional PE IRRs. 🏢
The best AI deals aren't in tech; they’re in service businesses where labor was the bottleneck. Apply AI to back offices for software-like economics.
#AI#PrivateEquity#IRR#Rollups#Investing
The best AI deals aren't tech companies.
They’re fragmented service businesses where human labor was the ceiling. 60% of investors expect "AI Roll-ups" to beat traditional PE IRRs by applying AI to unglamorous back offices.
Look where others aren't. #AI#PE#IRR
@DennisonBertram Say no to tokenmaxxing! Instead of showing off that it's 250 agents, show off that it's pennies on the dollar! You can do that with https://t.co/oOPDuVjiTN (disclosure: mine)
Employees aren't waiting for your AI strategy. 56% are using unauthorized tools. 🕵️
Don't ban shadow AI; channel it. It’s free market research for highest-ROI use cases. Build a strategy around what your team is hacking together.

56% of your employees are already using unauthorized AI tools. They aren't waiting for your "AI Strategy"; they’re building their own with your data. Don't ban it; channel it. Shadow usage is free market research for your highest-ROI use cases. #AI#ShadowAI
Stop underwriting AI 18 months after close.
With average hold periods hitting 6.6 years and deal targets requiring faster growth, AI isn't an afterthought. It’s a Day 1 thesis.
Diligence the data, the talent, and the plan *before* you sign.

Gartner projects that 60% of AI projects will be abandoned by 2026. The reason? Poor data readiness. 🛠️
Your AI problem is almost certainly a data problem. Before you pick a model, fix your data plumbing. Bad data = faster garbage.

Your AI problem is actually a data problem.
Gartner projects 60% of AI projects will be abandoned by 2026 due to poor data readiness. Before you pick a model, check your plumbing. Feed a smart model bad data, and you just get faster garbage.

@TheStalwart They are using it — that's the whole story. Make "usage" the target and people optimize usage: token theater is the rational response to a dumb metric. Goodhart's law with a Claude subscription.
@dabit3 100%. Spend Attribution tells you which sessions bought value, not why one eng spent 3x as much as a teammate for the same PR. That's craft, and it's measurable. I built https://t.co/AEstcqh7AY to score it from Claude Code transcripts. Same thesis, one level down.
AI doesn’t bill like SaaS. It bills like electricity.
I saw a client hit their token limit in hours, not days.
Without model routing and FinOps, your bill is a surprise, not a budget.
Control the consumption or pay the premium.
PE is built for the AI clock.
12% EBITDA growth is the new 5%.
Right now, you're buying the upside. Soon, you'll be paying to avoid a valuation haircut at exit.
The window is closing. Don’t be left holding a legacy P&L.
AI’s grammar is perfect. That’s the trap.
1,400+ court filings were caught with fake citations because they 'sounded right.'
Don’t confuse fluency with accuracy. Build the test before you trust the demo.
Your org chart is killing your AI strategy.
If AI reports to the department that hates change, nothing will change.
76% of leaders now have a CAIO reporting to the CEO.
Structure for speed, not just security.
Most AI pilots don't fail. They just never end.
95% deliver zero P&L impact but bill forever.
The fix: Every pilot needs a 'kill date' in writing. No ROI by that day? It dies.
Stop building a graveyard.
