Hot take: Gartner layoffs aren’t the story.

Coverage churn is. ⚠️

If you run analyst relations, validate topic ownership this week—not next quarter.

If you’re in AR: are your Gartner contacts signaling coverage changes yet or is it still too early? Curious what you’re hearing.

[Carter Lusher @carterlusher]

Gartner layoffs aren’t a “cost panic” story — they’re a research reshuffle story.

The real signal: reassignment, and in some areas coverage may expand, not contract.

I break down what’s changing and what AR teams should do next.

The other day, a wicked smart AR pro asked me a question that stopped me mid-conversation.

"Is Gartner going to get into the journalism business?" 🤔

Hmm… sounds provocative, but it’s not far-fetched.

[Aaron Levie @levie]

The reason that AI isn’t going to wipe out jobs in the way that some predict is that we consistently make the mistake of thinking that when we make something more efficient, you need commensurately less supply.

It turns out that in a significant number of fields, better productivity levels actually means more demand for that service. This is the whole point of Jevons paradox.

When the cost of doing work goes down, the demand for it goes up. And usually there’s far more pent up demand than we realize.

When AI drives up the output in these fields, thus lowering costs per unit per output, demand is going to rise of unexpected ways. This is true in healthcare, code, legal services, marketing, and a ton of other spaces.
