AI Agents

How a language model becomes a system that completes tasks, covering the observe-think-act loop, where each step actually executes, planning and memory, multi-agent patterns and what they cost, and the guardrails that stop a loop running away.

AI-Assisted Development

Getting value from a coding assistant, covering what the evidence actually shows about the speedup, deciding what to delegate, supplying context the model cannot infer, verification that catches plausible-looking wrong code, and reviewing generated code for security.

AI Security for Organizations

Operational security for organizations whose developers use AI tools daily, covering data classification, how data reaches AI tools without anyone deciding it should, what providers actually retain, tool governance, network and identity controls, and calibrating the risk.

AAA Cycle Diagrams

Diagrams for the AAA cycle: the phases and their gates, the Go, Pivot, or No-Go decision, circuit breakers, and hill charts.

AAA Gate Readiness

The questions that show whether each AAA gate is genuinely ready, with the signals that usually accompany a yes: leaving Align, leaving Agree, releasing, and accepting delivery.

AAA Worked Example: Ridgeline Mutual's Portal

One fictional insurer's customer portal followed through Align, Agree, and Apply, with each deliverable filled in, including the assumption that failed and what it cost.
