Issue 01 of The Leak Report is out.

Most AI advice aimed at small businesses is written for companies that do not look like yours. It assumes a data team, a backlog of clean records, and someone whose job is to own the rollout.

In a 5–50 person service business, the person evaluating AI is usually also the person quoting jobs, chasing payment, and covering for whoever is on leave. That is not a smaller version of an enterprise problem. It is a different problem.

Inside: the four workflows that quietly leak money, the one distinction that decides whether a project works, four tests a first project has to pass, and what it costs — published, because a quote request wastes your time.

It is deliberately unexciting. The most valuable thing in these pages is a test that sends some projects back.

Highly professional AI for business integration! Explaining machine learning models through clean UI is brilliant.

Most managers walk into difficult conversations having read an employee file. Coach tells you how they think, how they tend to respond under pressure, and what they need to hear before they can move forward.

Coach is a B2B SaaS AI coaching platform that gives managers a virtual version of their teammate to rehearse with before the real conversation happens. The AI pulls from Slack, Notion, Workday, email, and calendar, plus personality data and past 1:1 history, to build a profile that mirrors how this specific person communicates and responds.
