A meeting ends. A chat says "approved." An AI summary says a decision was made. Months later, nobody can tell whether the conclusion was a recommendation, an authorized answer, or simply the last thing someone said.The Decision Log teaches the record that should exist between discussion and action. It isn't a meeting-notes system, and it doesn't assume that a complete form makes a choice correct. It shows how to preserve an authorized answer in a form that another person can inspec...

The official procedure is only one record of the work.The real process may also depend on a private spreadsheet, an email thread, an unwritten approval, a worker who recognizes difficult cases, or a repair step performed after the system says the job is complete. When these parts remain hidden, a new procedure, process map, software system, or AI workflow can formalize the wrong version of the work.Workflow Archaeology is a practical field manual for finding what actually h...

You do not need an app yet. You need a customer, a defined result, and enough paid work to reveal what the app must actually do.Most founders build the interface first and discover the operation later. They encode guessed inputs, guessed rules, and guessed workflows, then spend months patching the cases they never saw coming.The Manual-First Startup gives you a stricter path. Sell one narrow result. Deliver it manually. Record every input, action, decision, delay, ...

Most AI products begin with a chatbot because chatbots are easy to demonstrate. The user types a request, the model produces an answer, and the real work remains unfinished.The Useful AI Product presents a different method. Start with a repeated task. Study how people currently perform it. Identify the records, decisions, rules, exceptions, permissions, and handoffs involved. Then build the smallest system that produces a result people can actually use.This book explains ho...

A month is enough time to become attached to a bad business idea.You can buy a domain, design a logo, build features, write a business plan, create social accounts, and prepare a launch without learning whether a customer will take action.

Many still rely on spreadsheets, g...
