@Michael_Fenech_ Number 1 pays for the rest. In the companies where I ran ops, quotes nobody followed up on were the biggest leak. The prompt is easy. Someone still has to own the follow-up once the draft is approved.
I'm looking for owners who tried AI in their company and got burned. A pilot that went nowhere. An agent that made things up. What happened? Tell me in the replies.
@jasonlk Same curve on the ops side. Building the agents stopped being the hard part a while ago. What still eats my week is deciding who approves what and what happens when two of them disagree.

Claude Code got mods last week.
I have been running Efficiency Sprint on a custom agent harness in Claude Code for a couple of months. So I turned a few pieces of it into mods:
The Chief takes each task to the end, tells you the one thing waiting on you
CEO Dashboard: your day's numbers, above your prompt
OK to Send: nothing goes out until you type "ok to send"
Day Log: what you asked and how long it took

Offers go out promising base plus bonus while the formula still lives in a financial model nobody finished. The candidate signs on a number they imagined. Months later the spreadsheet disagrees. A bonus the company can't calculate yet is a dispute with a start date.
A contract you won years ago expires this quarter, and no one's job is to notice. The renewal window closes quietly, then the whole deal goes back out to bid against every competitor you already beat. Revenue you earned once shouldn't have to be won twice.
Everyone wants AI to clean the database. The rule for how records enter it was never built. A model validating data no one standardized certifies the errors it was meant to catch. Garbage with a confidence score is still garbage.
Deal registration isn't paperwork. The first company to file with the vendor locks the discount, and every rival quotes uphill from that day. Most sales teams file once the proposal is polished. By then the pricing advantage already belongs to whoever built the trigger.
