@Brct03 @WydRayaanX No, the text says "you are in a room with 340 people". So you + 340 people.

[Chris Swalmius-Dato @CSwalmius]

@WydRayaanX 340 + you = 341
341 - 120 = 221
221 + 60 = 281

@holgermu @thetimes So, that's a yes to my question then?

[Chris Swalmius-Dato @CSwalmius]

In a stagnant economy, growth comes from winning market share. In my latest article, I explain why #CompetitiveIntelligence, therefore, becomes more, not less, important during difficult times.

In #CompetitiveIntelligence, the biggest risk is mistaking visible signals for the whole story. Understanding the motivation behind a move is what creates advantage. Public data tells you what happened. Market participants tell you why. #PricingStrategy #MarketIntelligence

[ChrisalysWorks @ChrisalysWorks]

A competitor cuts prices by 15%. Is it a warning—or a strategy? 🤔
Public filings won't tell you. Conversations across the supply chain often will.

At ChrisalysWorks, real market intelligence starts where desk research ends.

I'll be at @LDNTechWeek 2026 from Monday. If you're interested in automating your #CompetitorAnalysis with #CIDirector, @ChrisalysWorks' brand new #AI skill for @GeminiApp and @ClaudeAI, let me know in the comments. I'd be happy to meet. #LTW26

@TfL Incredibly frustrating that your site and app yesterday did not have any information on today's diversions and closures due to the demonstrations in Central London, although these were widely known about and you must have been planning for them. We deserve better!

#EU competition policy is moving from “referee” to “player.” The era of “light-touch” EU tech oversight is over. Key takeaway: competition policy is now a geopolitical tool. Expect more intervention and scrutiny.

In its latest report on competition policy, the @EU_Commission abandons its strict focus on consumer welfare in favour of economic resilience and industrial sovereignty. #CompetitionLaw #DMA #IndustrialStrategy #EUCommission #BigTech

#SuperScalers co-founder Sam Smith says that "your tribe" needs to consist of people from companies of your size, the next stage up, and 10x bigger to get different perspectives.

First up at #ScaleLondon2026 is Sam Smith, co-founder of #SuperScalers. She says that a growth mindset has to be embedded in your organisation's culture if you want to seriously scale. #ScaleUp #Growth #SME https://t.co/N1qlEfiOuH

.@Scale_London is just kicking off with attendance slightly affected by today's tube strike. Still worth coming if you can. #ScaleLondon2026 #Growth #SME

I did a deep dive into the structural shift of B2B sales and how SMEs can stay competitive without getting locked out.

LinkedIn is killing your sales bots. 🤖🚫

If you’re a founder using AI "wrappers" to scale your outreach, you aren't just risking a ban. You’re walking into a legal and platform-risk minefield.

The "Golden Age" of cheap scale is over. Here is why: 🧵 1/7

How do you survive this? Move from Automation for Execution to Automation for Intelligence.

✅ Use AI to research, synthesise data, and draft context.
❌ NEVER use AI to physically hit Send or manage the login.

Keep the human in the loop to stay compliant and un-bannable. 6/7

[Chris Swalmius-Dato @CSwalmius]

@SpyHards In one word, yes.
